Cotoneaster is one of my favorite "berry bushes." This looks great, Dave, for clarity, color and comp. Nice processing.

Beautiful color Dave and for me a very appealing dof decision. Your stack technique also looks good to me.

My only reservation is the cropped leaf at the top and I might clone it out. That's a real minor nit though. The pano works very well here for my tastes and I also like the mood of the image.

I really like the color combo and the richness of the color as well. Nice light and the dof looks good. A very appealing image, David!

Redo is based on Pat's comments and I also decided to play with CS5 and clean up the damaged berries.

C&C please.

Thanks for looking...I learn a lot from other's POV's.

Excellent colors and arrangement. The repost is good, but I prefer the original one (wihout berries cleaning). Nicely done Dave.
