Mushroom - C&C are welcome !!

Completely agreed. For me, the bottom of the mushroom on the right is "looking" to the left, which also makes the negative space on the left appear very natural for me.

Thanks for your valuable feedback .

I agree as well. I like the composition. My only concern is the technical issues I mentioned, along with Geoff's point about the OOF right-hand stem.

Thanks for your feedback .

John,

While I understand where you're coming from, and in a lot of cases it might be true, I disagree in this particular instance. IMHO the original with the negative space balances out the leaning of the mushrooms and creates a mood that is lost in your crop. Again, this is only my opinion and my reaction to the photo. The photo belongs to Tejal and it's up to her to determine it's intent.

I completely agree with Sergio. You have these mushrooms framed just right. My initial impression was one of movement, almost like they are bending in the wind.
It might be worth checking your original file to see if the base of the stem of the right mushroom was actually in focus and, if so, try cloning that part into the finished image.
I really like the composition and execution.

Thanks for your input. I will surely check it again .

I agree with what has already been said. I like your original shot as for the composition...and I favour more of of Geoff's suggestion to take 2 or 3 focus shots. I also like John's edit for the close up. I think he did a good job of it.

If i were to see the cropped image first, i would liked it; but while comparing i am pleased with the original image; the space on the left hand side adds to the tension of the image....
