Shew, I bet it feels like forever. At first, I thought maybe the strawberries should have been more prominent, but after looking again, I like the feeling of "smallness" this portrays. Definitely not a job I would want!

Ah, the encroachment of 'civilization'. Sad story, lovely photo!

I like this photo. I almost hesitate to say this, but my focus is drawn more to the person than the strawberries. Would think this meets the challenge better if cropped just to the left of the person and incorporating the rule of thirds. Just my opinion - still a good score:)

I think eliminating the woman from the picture would have enhanced this. Otherwise a good photo

I'm torn. On the one hand, for the sake of the contrast of the complementary colours, I might say "move the focus in on the berries a bit more!" On the other hand, you'd need a new title and that was kinda funny. :)

Reasonable, and a pretty picture.

In my opinion, I think this picutre would have been more effective for the challenge had it been shot closer onto the strawberries. My eyes immediately went to the woman and her interesting array of clothing. From baby Mickey Mouse to plaid to paisley...LOL Sorry, but the complementry colors (red & green) of the strawberries and field are lost and forgotten. I do like the photo as a whole, though. Although hazy, the neighborhood with the mountains in the background provide a nice backdrop to the strawberry field. 7

So that's were the song came from ... Nice, the strawberries look juicy and oh so tasty! I like the line of houses on the horizon.

I see the greens, I see the red strawberries, but I also see a lot of other stuff that doesn't really enhance the picture. Perhaps a different position or getting closer could have changed things around and brought more focus on the point of the picture ?

Unique idea. Looks like it could be in National Geographic or something (except the houses in the background).

I see the green and red, but here is not really enough red in this shot to create a nice theme of complementary colors... = 5
