Love the dynamic range in this image as well as the color contrasts and diagonals. The totally negative space really makes this image POP. In fact, it should be moved to the POP forum (just kidding)

Nice comp with the colorful blueberries and the curving sweep of the contrasting leaf in the front. The lighting helps highlight the berries while keeping the background more dark and unintrusive. I wish the focus could be sharper but tricky to do when wanting to keep the background blurred. Also wish the little branch in the bottom left corner had been pushed out of the way or cloned out, but no deal breaker. Did you stop to eat these blueberries after taking their picture? Yumm. . .

Hi John,
I like the side lighting too and the old, rough, leaves you included add a nice counterpoint to the smooth, round berries. If it were on my screen, I probably would try to brighten the scene up a bit, but that may blow out the highlights too much. Nothing sweeter than a mountain blueberry!
