This turned out beautifully, John. I love all the crisp details and the lighting is superb.

John,

The brightest areas of the image, in particular on the right side, look a touch odd to me. Maybe the stack or maybe the exposure or some of both. I'm not saying I dislike those areas but just that they seem to glow a little too much. Comp, colors and textures are all superb and I like the mood of the image.

Beautifully done, John ! A very satisfying, free composition with superb detail in the berries. I like this a lot.

Good job on the stacking John. For my tastes, I would prefer a tighter crop on the berries. But, having said that this is a very fine image.

John:
Great job with the stacking. I have used CZM and find it quite good and the best part is its FREE. The black bg really makes the berries pop. Well done.

Very good subject John, i think thee is haloing near the leaf right side of the center which may have resulted from stacking or subject moved a bit in between the shots
