I found these berries glowing in the early morning sun yesterday at Buffalo Creek Wildlife Management Area. All comments and critiques are very much appreciated.

Well composed in very nice light. I like the chosen DOF with the bunch in front sharp, and the rear bunch OOF but still very discernible. Nice color as well. You could try darkening the branch a little, but the is excellent as presented. Good job, Richard.

Richard I like two things in this image, the great DOF allowing sharp FG and nicely blured BG and the perfect light. Well done inedeed.

An interesting play of light, shadow, and DOF Richard. I like the rich feel of the colors.

Richard - I like the selective focus on the Berries and the perfect spotlight effect for them. The fine details on the berries in the larger version attracts much attention. Good Work
