Ooops. I thought that you speak german when using such a title and somehow I felt invited to comment in german. But it wouldn't be fair to all the other non-german users who look through other people comments, either. Sorry about that. So here is the translation:
"Hey, i'm probably the only one who gets the title ;-) Good idea with the milk! Nice contrast of colours white/red/green. I probaly would have used only three strawberries, because I find asymmetry more exciting. A little sad that the milk spills out of the photo, but overall a good stop motion photo."

Thanks to everyone for the comments this week. Yes, I know I left the "green bits" on, but I thought the strawberries would look funny without them, and I liked the added color. The title is German and translates to "Four Strawberries." I'm not German, and I don't speak German, but when I'm trying to come up with witty titles for my pictures, my roommate is always suggesting that I translate a normal boring title into Spanish for added artistic effect. "Cuatro Fresas" didn't really have a great ring to it, so I went with German. I've always loved the sound of the language, anyway.

If anyone is interested, I edited the background and some of the blurs of this shot for a print quality version. I've posted it here: //www.photosig.com/viewphoto.php?id=307160

Thanks again for all the kind comments.

Hey, ich bin wohl einer der wenigen die den Titel verstehen ;-) Gute Idee mit der Milch! Schoener Farbkontrast Weiss/Rot/Gruen. Ich haette wahrscheinlich nur 3 Erdbeeren genommen, weil ich Asymmetrie spannender finde. Etwas schade, dass die Milch aus dem Bild schwappt, aber insgesamt ein gutes stop motion Photo. -stephan

Great shot! Either you got this one on the first attempt or you ate a lot of cereal and berries this week.

Really great shot!I like the stop action of the milk, the color, crisp focus. The only little thing I would have changed is to have a solid color bowl- no design. One of my top 5!

Not quite as tempting as a cereal commercial, but not too shabby.
