Not quite as pristine as Wayne's grape shots, but I got this this morning picking wild Backberrys in the woods.
I often wonder whether it is worth fighting the heat,mosquitos,poison ivy, and thorns to pick these things until I open a jar of jam. Then I don't remember what a pain they are to pick and realize that the reward is worth the effort.

Ken, very nice environmental shot and I really like the detail you've retained in the red berries. Nice contrast between the reds and deep purples of these blackberries too.
My all time favorite pie by the way!

These wild berries are so much better than you can buy, but they're so tedious to get! I hope you ate the ripe one after taking the picture!

Great sharpness, they look good enough to eat. Between you and Wayne you are making me hungry!

Nice detail in the berries, I agree with the everyone else, look good enough to eat.

I like the lighting on this shot. The spot of shine on each berry sets them off from just being a bunch of berrys of a vine. If that makes sense.. Great find.
