I like this photo too, the mushroom is striking. I think it would be an even stronger photo if you could clone out the brown and tan background just above the mushroom. It detracts from the photo in my view because it’s not as “contrasty” as the green. I really, really like the green shoots at the base of the mushroom; the whole bottom half is wonderful.

I took it in a shop that sells restoration hardware salvaged from old houses and buildings. The shop had great visuals everywhere you looked, I had my camera with me, and came away…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing your photo! I agree with the comments on the sky. I live in Central Illinois so I know the challenges of the landscapes; I struggle to capture that vastness of the farmland in an image.

What editing software do you have? Can you boost the highlights and increase the contrast on the pink flowers to make them pop a little more? Lightroom 5 has a great new radial tool that would work great on those blossoms.
