Still Looking ...

----
This was shot during a fungus hunt (led by a witty mycologist) at Washington Crossing State Park on Sunday.
----
It's not the time of year for finding fresh specimens, but it was a nice way to spend a couple of hours.
----
I used a couple of layers of BUZZ presets from TOPAZ Simplify to make this shot of the "hunters" more interesting.
------------
Congratulations to all the March Finalists and encouragement to those of us who are "Still Looking!"

Brings back memories of going hunting for mushrooms with my dad back on the farm - except it was just the two of us. Cool capture! #11034081Patrick Rouzes April 29, 2014
Whatever you did ( for I don't know the dd lingo) it certainly is a captivating & interesting photo, Michelle. WTGI'm "looking too".

Nice capture-Sometimes I feel like the blind hog except sometimes even he finds an acorn. :) #11034129Renata Gusciora April 29, 2014
Very cool shot and interesting treatments, Michelle! I used to go hunting mushrooms in Poland every season and I consider myself a good fungus hunter! :P I am talking obviously about edible mushrooms :-) Here,in the USA I also found some chanterelle mashrooms and we cooked them with scrambled eggs for breakfast few times :P #11034135John Connolly April 29, 2014
What a wonderful presentation Michelle! In my younger days I grew mushrooms in my downstairs laundry! #11034234Gord MacEachern April 29, 2014

I actually love what you've done here Michelle, the scene got me thinking at first to what they could possibly be looking for. And the treatment worked well for you! #11034525Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
