Summary: RE: Really that blue?

Looking at the fungus, the flesh in the photo is white, and the spore mass is purplish. I set the white balance on the camera to incandescent, but come to think of it, I should’ve set it to fluorescent. To me the photo looks quite good. :) But there is some shadowyness going on with the wall. Though I compared the photo to the live fungus and to my eyes it came out pretty well. I’ll mess with the white balance and see what happens next time. Normally I take my photos outside and the white balance isn’t too much of a problem because I’m not dealing with artificial light. I don’t think has too much of a blueness problem, judging just by the white flesh, but like I said, I’ll monkey with the white balance a bit more next time. Thanks for the feedback!
