The day was cloudy & it was hard to get the colors/exposure I wanted. I was not pleased with or without the flash. I chose the entry with "thumbnail WOW factor"...turns out, the flash wasn't they way to go. The non-flash entry may have faired better.
Thanks for your valuable input. Please see the non-flash version and comment if you care to.
Zap228 ~ I tried a number of settings this 'non-macro' shot produced much more focus.
mffnqueen ~ the rest of the backgrounds available were worse..
scalvert ~ Mmmm... save 1 berry 4 me! I put some on the one I'm saving for you! It's ready to ship...
Jesuispeure ~ I did, see above.
labuda ... you won't die by then ~ I'm saving them for Shannon Ha Ha
Maverick ~ Yes! Well it's time that I got that slave working and rig up a bounce flash. The cameras flash was not up to the task.
judibrenstein ~ I was using both
richterrell ~ Yeah
jaimeegrl ~ was trying for both...
agrimace no flash ~ Well that seems to sum it up.

| To much flash. It's also out of focus just a bit so try it in macro next time |

| the shadow in the background is rather distracting.. perhaps softer light or a different flash angle (from the side, maybe) would help :) |

| Mmmm... save 1 berry 4 me! Great color and DOF. Perhaps a tighter crop and a spritz of water? The voters tend to favor water beads. |

| I think the flash may have blown out the lighting on this one. Next time you might want to try natural light and a tripod for more depth. |

| Nice idea. The lighting could be better. If it was a sunny day, maybe a shot from underneath the berries up towards the sky would look nice. Though blurred, the background still catches a lot of my attention here and gives an overall impression that the shot is under-exposed. |

| Harsh flash and shadows. Perhaps a tripod and natural light or moving away from the subject so the flash is not so harsh would help. |

| Looks like direct flash was used. There is a bluish hue with is distracting. Along with the washout effect from the flash. Focus seems to be more on the leaf than the berry. |
