Winter Growth

Well, first I'm a little worried about posting this here with all of the incredibly beautiful flora images, but I've always seen this "bush" growing up in NE PA and don't know what it is (ok, admit I never tried looking it up now that I think about it!). Anyway, the reds/rust color caught my eye as they stood out against the browns and whites. It was shot today at ISO-80, 1/1,000th at f4.0. Thanks for looking and any C&C!

Sumac. The berries are edible and make an interesting jam.

Neat shot Bill. The berry-like sumac fruits are showcased very well by the muted browns and greys of winter. I really like environmental shots like this. :cool:

Cool shot, Bill. The rust color does catch your eye. I also like the intertwining limb patterns.

I think it would be a little better without the tree and a little a change in the dof to blur the background. These do make interesting photos.
