Hi, welcome to this friendly Forum.

Nice shot, have you considered Blurring/Darkening the background a bit more, particularly the RH side. Ed.

[Jocko]

Welcome, Richard. Nicely exposed image with great detail, but to my eye the LH fungi should either be sharp, or a lot less prominent. To me it detracts from an otherwise great photograph.

Another thought based on John's comment.
Clone out the back Fungi, and crop to a landscape format, looks good to me. Ed.

[MrB]

What do you think of a 3:4 crop, and cloning out what remains of the top fungus?

   

Cheers.
Philip

P.S. Welcome, Richard.

How are these rough copies?

I get the part about the background, but not so sure about the horizontal cropping. It's really a vertical composition to my eye.

[Richard Boyle]

the 3:4 crop works, but I must admit now I look at it again I quite like the horizontal format too!

Thanks for everyone's input. Much appreciated
Richard

Philip's 3:4 format is what I had in mind. Makes for a great image.

[EdMak]

Both very acceptable, good outcome. Ed.
