 Shot at a garden/park near me. I had heard the winterberry was lovely against the snow, and it was :-) Liked it better with the color toned down a bit. Thought it suited the wrinkled berries better.

PP - cropped, levels, shifted red/orange colors a little toward pink and desaturated, increased contrast, resized, sharpened, added border.

One of my top scorers - really like the yin/yang of the white/brown backgrounds. And yes, reds tend to work better slightly undersaturated. This has a nice sense of a gentle conversation between the two groups, doesn't it?

Garden Magazine like shot, nice, crisp, clear colours. It is rotated?

Composition is odd. Much blurry background.

I like the repeating use of reds between the berries and the blurry red ones on the far right, it balances your composition. 7
