Nice shot Lorna. I like how the slant of the OOF tree in the BG mirrors the slant of the berries. :cool:

I like anything in sets of three and this is particularly nice. I'd probably make the oof leaf in the ulc go away but it's minor.

Lorna: I like the comp and subject but do wish for a touch more DOF/sharpness. I haven't used a prime 50mm in a long time but you're helping me get the itch again. >=))>

Thanks for the comments! This was a grab shot with not a lot of planning , I was on an outing and was explaining DOF to a new camera friend. when I got home I had forgotten about this shot until the other day, I was enchanted with the fairy tale like feel to this image. When I am on a teaching walk I tend to shoot for example but sometimes I get lucky and find a shot I like! Cheers
