This is a beautiful photo. finely focused, great DOF background black. The yellow flower is off center with a slight tip. The red berries are mature fruit. Very nicely presented. Ray

This is a beautiful flower head with stamens in full view. However, I feel the whole shot is a tad out of focus. Nice colors contrasted on a black background. Good luck in the contest.

A beautiful picture of the St John'swort flower and berries bathed in sunshine. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
