This was a fun picture to get - I'm glad so many people liked it. First, I had to battle the bugs. Second, there were only a few minutes per day when the sunlight was hitting the berries. Otherwise, they were in deep shade. I shot over 3 days, this one occurring on the 3rd day.

I love the contrasting colors in your photograph, and excellent composition. The depth of field (DOF) is perfect. 10 LanSnake

very nice color
09/14/2002 03:02:00 PM
I love this picture, probably because of the colours (a bit too saturated maybe ?) and the details. Good luck. 7
09/14/2002 01:46:00 PM
the background is too blurry.. Even though it does bring out the blue nicely...
09/14/2002 05:33:00 AM
Excellent lighting and DOF on this. The berries really pop!!
09/13/2002 05:49:00 PM
love the blue color against the green!
09/13/2002 03:04:00 PM
Nicely done. I really like this shot. Great DOF and overall composition.The berries are very viberant and are pleasing to my eyes.
09/13/2002 02:10:00 PM
Excellent lighting. Good DOF and composition, and great color. The sharpness and bright saturated color contibute to the impact of this image. No complaints from me :-)

The colour of the berrys is fantastic, love the blue berrys in sharp focus against the soft green back ground.

this is really nice. the color of those berries is mesmerizing. great depth of field and positioning. for some reason, it doesn't quite grab me as much as some of my other favorites this week, but it's right up there with them. i think i tend to lean toward the more arty shots in general, which is why this more natural shot doesn't grab me as much. but i still really like it. good work.

The vibrant colors are startling and wonderful. You managed to catch a bit of texture, too, in the berries. Great shot!
09/13/2002 06:25:00 AM
Colours just zing out!

The blue of the berry almost jumps out of the picture. This is one feature is very impressive
09/12/2002 09:21:00 PM
I don't know what it is that keeps me coming back to this piece of fruit over the others. I suspect it is the color. Nicely positioned. Almost abstract.
09/12/2002 11:06:00 AM
very nice work :) I love the blue in this shot... the use of a shallow DOF is also veyr nice... good work! = 8 - jmsetzler

Great colour and good use of DoF to make your subject really pop off the page. 8 - floyd

I would have liked this a lot more if you could have included all of the berries in your focus range, I do however like the shallow depth of field.

OK, at first I marked this as a 7, but I'm changing to 8. At first glance, I thought, the coloring is so unreal-like....but now I'm thinking, why does it have to be real-like. This has really great composition and excellent DOF. It just really stands out. The blue looks great with the soft green background....OK, Now I've changed it to a 9, but that's it (..I know, I'm a pushover). I like abstract. This has that "look at me" quality...The berries just really stand out. The larger one on the bottom left, seems to almost be floating. Excellent work 9

Surreal color! could this have been stronger with a solid foliage background? nice shot. (7) ~mcmurma

cool color!! good DOF

Spectacular color... great dof... One of my favorites of this week. 8 sjgleah

The Blue in these REALLY pops! Excellent composition. Maybe a stop down to catch the focus on the rear berries. But, the discrimination between front 9 and back three is great! If there were 9.5, you'd get that... but a 10 will have to suffice. - mjcecil

They almost look like balloons! Great colors! - 8

Your photo stood out from me in the thumbnails as I was perusing. The blue colour caught my eye first. And...I thought to myself 'WOW'. Top marks from me....10. Fantastic colour/s, composition, macro and dof. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice job, maybe a bit too much light on the berries. Justine
09/09/2002 07:16:00 AM
Wonderful image. I like the contrast between the subject and the background. As well, the colours are great. But, really, the lighting adds the extra dimension.

Wow! This is just plain excellent! 10 sgtpepper6344
