What a vibrant shot. Those red berries just pop out of the image at me. The muted background is perfect. Composition is excellent and I like that they droop out of the image my friend. Cyn

I've shot the same type of berries in the Dubbo Japanese gardens lol They are very pretty, love the vibrant red v dark green combination you have captured. Very effective. Lovely lighting and great tecs used. Well done! :)

Thanks Anna, glad you liked photo. We missed the Dubbo Japanese Gardens when we drove through there, next time intend to stay and check them out plus the zoo. Cheers Mary

They are pretty good the gardens and the zoo is fabulous the Old Dubbo Jail is also a really good thing to see in Dubbo as well! :)

Wow, they sure do shine and and with your spot on focus, dof and exposure, they pop out for all to see. An eye catching scene it is.

beautiful capture of these vibant red berries, shining after the rain; not a good idea to suggest they could be edible if you don't know what they are

Thanks so much, I never actually try fruits I don't know and red is pretty much a warning color. Sorry if I sounded like it was a suggestion to eat them. :) Mary

Very good eye to find these lovely colored berries. Sure like the way you cropped the berries. Thanks for sharing and it looks like you had a great day in the garden.

Thanks Beny, so glad you liked the photo, looking back over the time on FAR I can honestly say the reviews have helped me improve both technically and with presentation. Cheers Mary

A lovely use of complimentary colours in the red and green Mary. This draws the viewers eye to the image. The tight framing gives us a good look at the berries and the water from the rain adds a lovely fresh feel to the image. The focus and exposure are fine but maybe just add a little contrast to give the image more snap. Nice shooting matey :)

Thanks for your positive feedback, I adjusted contrast as per your suggestion think it worked, just gave the red a bit extra oomph. :) Mary

reply by NautilusBlue on 19-Aug-2012

oomph is good Mary lol xoxox :)

Comment from onyanita
the complementary colors are just lovely Mary and the framing is good. I don't know what they are either but they sure are eye catching. Good focus and techs. the rain has given them a nice fresh look. Top shot.

Comment from stleonardmom
Nice study of the brilliantly colored berries. Nicely composed to effectively fill the frame. It might have been a bit more dramatic and image if the depth of field were narrowed a bit to blur the background a bit more.
