Thanks for the comments. There are no effects in this photo, I don't know what you are refering to articfox, maybe the brownish colour water?, but this is all natural colour.

Thanks Ian & Richard for the feedback.
I was also disappointed with the sharpness of the mushrooms. I would have loved to have had a tripod with me as the lighting (dark from surrounding trees)was not ideal for handheld shooting, plus I was shooting in macro mode. I am only starting to get used to my camera plus I am a complete novice at photoshop. Thanks for the DOF tip, I have a habit of using the widest apature when looking for a shallow DOF. Now I realise I could have closed it down more and still acheived a satisfactory DOF.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Cheryl, no need to see a shrink, your portfolio is great and a bit more normal than mine.

I don't think there is too much of a silhouette. I have just uploaded a sunset silhouette but I think this is better.

Fantastic. Even though it looks cold, it makes you want to be there.

Thanks Elaine,
This photo is not the clearest as I had to scan it in using a flatbed scanner (old one at that). I think i'll get my snaps put on to photo cd in future.

I think this is a great picture. At first view it is very deceiving, you almost think that the instrument head is growing out of the piano and once your eyes adjust you realise you are getting a very close up and personal peek over the bass players shoulder.
Great shot and well framed.

I agree with earlier comments that it would look great in a classical music magazine.
