Fuscoporia torulosa

Original - The wood-decay fungus Fuscoporia torulosa. Note the enveloped twigs and branches in the fruiting body, typical of bracket fungi.

Reason: An excellent image of a wood-decay fungus with good EV. Original was cropped, and I added very slight brightness and contrast. Fits well in the article I made for it :) (p.s. I'm in the WikiCup)

Oppose Rather major issues with sharpness and artifacting right on the fungus itself. Spencer^T♦^C 01:32, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose: It doesn't look great at high resolution. Is there a way to fix that? J Milburn (talk) 18:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Spencer. It also feels underexposed (despite the damn and gloomy nature of fungi hangouts) and it feels like the white balance is off. Mfield (talk) 22:53, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ Weak support Too dark to distinguish detail easily.Terri G (talk) 19:57, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at this on a different screen seems to have improved this picture, so I'm withdrawing my oppose, I think there may be a bit of softness though.Terri G (talk) 16:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
