I'm in the double digits! ;o)
Today, I couldn't decide what photo to choose, so Donald helped by giving his opinion. (Thank you!)
There's not much to say about this one. . . I could've selected a photo of a Scrabble board or one of the cloud photos I took today (but haven't uploaded yet), but I thought one of these mushroom photos would be better, even though I've already chosen a picture of a mushroom for this project. (As you can see, I'm still having a hard time just going with the flow.)
I found a couple of nice-looking mushrooms this morning and finally got around to photographing them in the afternoon. I find I have a hard time getting a good photo of a mushroom that's still in the ground-- or of anything that's so close to the ground. (Besides, by the time I got around to photographing these, they were in the shade of the house. Not very good lighting.) So I plucked them and took them to a better place where there was still a little light and an unevenness in the ground gave me an easier angle taking photos. (Cheating? No, not at all! It's just good sense. (g))
Editing: Cropped (which is something I frequently do, but may forget to mention from time to time, since I think it almost doesn't count), Curves, Unsharp Mask. Also, I'm pretty sure that for this one I copied it into a second layer and manipulated them (Curves, mainly) separately. (Copying an image and layering one over the other is one way to get deeper, richer colors-- or a dreamy look-- or something altogether other-worldly.
