fungi time

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This has been a really great Autumn so far for fungi.
Here are a couple of the more interesting and a nice little group.
Critique would be most appreciated. Some of the lighting was a little harsh as I do not carry my soft box out with me on hikes.
PURPLE

Colin,

No softbox while you're out hiking? Talk about being a wuss! :)

I love all of them; these fungi are quite obviously out to have a good time.

The third one, in particular is wonderful. It's almost a party. I'd like to see a tad more sharpness in this one. It's not that it's OOF, but it looks to me as if just a nudge more USM might be in order.

Thanks Gary,
Can you tell which is the fungi at the party though?
I probably forgot to sharpen after resising.

Given the date, that would be me.

That may well be what I'm (not) seeing.

Cheers.

Thanks all
Big V, if anything it was more purple.

I only have a cardboard home made job Surenj, and it is not so good in the rain either :D
