Greetings from the Critique Club
This looks like it was your first Challenge entry on DPC. I will attempt to give you some comments that may or may not prove helpful to you.
From a technical point of view, I believe this is a good well lit image. I like the composition and the depth of field choice is good. I noticed some commented they would prefer to see the focus on the mushroom heads. I don't necessarily agree with those comments, I like the fact this is a bit different.
As far as your score goes, I believe the primary reason this scored just around 5 is due to the challenge topic. The challenge was for images of cooking, not food and I strongly believe that you have suffered due to that. In my opinion, had the challenge been for Stock: Food, then you would have scored a lot higher. To me, certainly the image itself does not portray the art of cooking, but it is certainly a good food shot.
Hope this helps a little.
Sarah

| Although I have not seen one of these in real life, would it look better if the caps were the main focal point instead? |

| ok...being picky...why not focus on the tops of the mushrooms...they are much more interesting...your focus is good on the stems...but I want to see the tops.... |

Did you consider taking the shot with the mushroom caps closest to the lens instead of the stems? In my opinion that would have been more effective.
Good luck. |

| I've never seen these! Are they any good? Wonderful shot. Love the muted colors. Just wish the focus had been on the ends instead of just past them. It puts the blur at eye-level in the shot. |

| this photo have a potencial, but the focus, on my opinion, is wrong, it is better if the focus was on the head of the mushrooms. in a stock images of food the important thing may be in the focus and in this case the head of the mashrooms is more important than the tails. |
