    Mushroom On Wood

    Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

    I really loved the textures on the mushroom, wood and the rusted bolt, aligned in a triangle. I'm not sure if we call it a fine art or abstract. It is a part of a railroad track.

    Thank You

    Well it is a striking photograph with great colour and texture. Not sure if I am keen on the symmetrical arrangement and the contrast and brightness of the mushrooms seems a little high on my screen but overall you should be pretty pleased with it.

    Thanks for your valuable review. Here is the image where i have toned down brightness and contrast of the mushrooms little bit as suggested.

    Your new version has lost the artificial look. Now probably closer to what you could attain in a large print. It is very much personal preference but I find it an improvement.

    Try rotating the image 90 degrees clockwise. It has better balance then (to me).

    Raj,
    Nice image. I agree with Ben about rotating the image, for some reason I see it as a vertical image, an old door or something of that nature. And as such my mind kind of wants to see the image rotated.
    Also, if possible can you include your second image here? It's easier to compare the two here than have to go to an outside link.

    Once again thanks for the suggestion. I will use the new tone version because i found this toned down version better.

    Thanks for your valuable feedback. I have posted the rotated image on the thread itself as suggested.
