Re: Mallory Park

I was going to say I actually really like it - it's different! I do think that more of the background in focus might have been an idea, so we can see *roughly* what type of car they are, that would show that it wasn't just a cluster of mushrooms in front of a car park!

Re: Mallory Park

I think it does say something...

I think it says that sometimes the humble things are more important to focus our gaze upon than the flashy.

I like it ken.

Re: Mallory Park

Great idea, and well spotted, and gorgeous bokeh, the sun hitting the cars, gives a nice light just goes to show you have look down sometimes. I might be tempted to lose the majorityof the sky , so you end up with more of a letterbox shaped composition, does that make sense?
Love it when people post things, that they don't usually shoot x

Re: Mallory Park

Thanks to everyone for looking and taking the time to reply.

In answer to BC thoughts: It's a valid point, because what was on my mind at the time were the two very contrasting situations. The busy hustle & bustle of the race meeting with all its dusty gravel car parks, and tarmac race track, then there like a watery oasis in a desert, was this lovely little spot of shaded grass with these lovely toadstools.

Here is what the same shot looks like from the other focused extreme:

Kit 1
1DSmkIII & 1DmkIV
Canon EF70-200L f/2.8 IS
Canon EF100L macro f/2.8 IS
Canon EF85L f/1.2 mkII
Canon EF24-105L f/4 IS
Canon EF300L f/2.8 IS
Canon EF17-40L f/4

Re: Mallory Park

I think it's an interesting shot, looks like the mushrooms are spectators.

Can see what BC is saying too, it's an unusual shot.

Nikon D300
Nikon 55-200mm VR
Kit 2
Nikon D40
Nikon 18-55mm
