This was a great idea but the out of focus, grainy, dead center blackberry takes away from the focal point. A different perspective might have really worked.

I would like this a little better if you cropped enough off of the top to get rid of that orange thing. Still, it's an 8

Several people had this basic idea, but this was the best. Even though it had to be posed it gives every impression of having captured the moment as it happened; even that out of focus foreground blackberry helps convey that and give the picture a sense of spontaneity. I'm sure a lot of people will dock you for that but I liked it and I'm putting you up in my top group - all 9s today.
