The specular white on the upper right is a nice background for the end berries, but the far end of the branch still seems too in focus compared to those light areas.

the way the light and focus draw the eye is beautiful. I love this. very impressionistic, very complex

I think the branch going out to the left leads your eye out of the photo. Cropping it to the left of the single berry would have been more effective. The placing of the berry group over the reflection is taking advantage of a light source and a good effect.

Fantastic composition. Love the way the berrys are highlighted by the light behind them.

I love how it reaches out towards me- an excellent photograph. Most of the photograph nails the challenge, the berries in the background look downright painterly. But I feel the main subject is too tack sharp and vivid to be considered "impressionism". I would have preferred to see the entire photo with colors and vague shapes to clue me as to the subject.

This picture shows that you have alot of photographic talent. You have given much thought to the positioning, DOF, lighing and subject matter and accomplished it all extremely well.
