Tucked Away

Moss and button cap mushrooms grow in the wet woodlands along the Yoba River trail.

Specific Feedback and Self-Critique

Any feedback is welcome. I have gone a little overboard with focus stacking recently, so I felt like trying some shallow depth of field. I think it helps draw the viewer into the image.

This is beautiful, Todd. I especially like the diagonal flow. The only small suggestion I’d make is to tone down a little bit the green oof moss along the top left. Otherwise, spot on!

Todd, I think your use of dof here looks very good as it “spotlights” the little mushrooms nicely. Personally, I’d like to see the bottom of the highest shroom sharp, but that’s a photog’s choice issue. I do agree about burning-in the oof greens at the top.
