Glad you're 'up and running' again As for the mushroomed shot: Funky, indeed. I can understand the score -- it's pretty out of focus, especially for a still life shot. Better use f:11 for deeper depth of field, frame closer and use a tripod. Exposure seems a bit too hot -- by one stop at least. One step at a time, that's the fun of the contests here. Good luck!
