Wow, I too love the color on this one Richard. I think Jesse's idea is really good. The in-focus berries at the top and the leaves/berries below compete for interest. In doing a web crop that removes the top berries, this is a really strong photo. I've never heard of these berries. Where did you take this?

Thanks for the cropping advice. I like this better. This was taken in my neighborhood in the Portland area.

Oh, yeah, the cropped version is really something to behold! I'll bet the gang in Flora Forum would get a kick out of this one. Unique color combo-- those berries, wow.

I agree a very nice shot. My only nit would be the leaf on the bottom being cut off. (not a shot buster by any means) A little more room would be nice.
