Possibly Coprinus disseminatus Hey guys, this is my first photo on Jungledragon in some time. i kept busy, but most photo&#039;s didnt turn out good enough in my eyes to be uploaded here.<br />
<br />
with this photo i am happy enough to upload it, although i am not entirely happy, mostly because of the grass. wich i tried to get away when i was shooting but i forgot some grass, and some gras was between the fungi. so it may seem very bussy, but i tried to compensate that with the crop i chose. i also wanted to use this photo as a learning tool, so i also get better in this kind of surroundings. and to get feedback on what can be better, and how to achieve that. so feedback is very much welcome. <br />
<br />
the species was hard to determain, it looked alot like the Coprinus disseminatus, but it seems to be a bit darker (maybe a later state). so it is possible i have determaind the species wrong. <br />
<br />
one funny thing i really wanted to keep was the very small creature one the left that sits on one of the fungi. i didnt see it during shooting, but when i imported the photo&#039;s  my eyes cought it. i found it cool as it is something small, but also unexpected. <br />

  1. Great shot, Rudolph. I'm not bothered by the grass, it gives a sense of depth. Instead I think it's a bit of a tight crop, not giving a lot of breathing space, if that makes sense. Posted 8 years ago
    1. thanks for the compliment Ferdy, didnt expect that the grass would be seen like that. as a mens of creating depth.
      it makes sense for me that you find the crop too tight. i found tgis crop the best, but maybe it should have been something bigger, so it wouldnt be as tight. thanks for the feedback, will use it in the future.
