Do they taste any good? Nice sharp subject...seems like there is a little bit of a yellowish cast to the image but I realize the surrounds were probably very greenish yellow!

Looks delicious. Did you eat this after the shoot?

Richard - Like your choice of Depth of field which has covered the spherical berry from the front to back while retaining the soft background. I also like how you aligned parallel for the stem as well. Nice work.

PS : The small dust spot on the sensor could be cloned out.

This is really done Richard, great separation of subject, nice soft light and great composition. I also see the dust spot, and I might be tempted to take out the black spot on the fruit.

Very nice composition, DOF. Might clone out the dark spot in lower left corner.
