I agree with dr rick's post 100%, and would probably add a bit tighter crop to really bring the attention into the berries and off of the dark areas around the outside edges. :o)

Very interesting capture...the patterns on the leaves as well as the spines around them work well together for this composition. :o)

I really like the curves, lines, and DOF on this shot... probably my favorite of the series. :o)

Comment by dr rick:
I like the way the designs on the plants is repeated by the negative shape on the left (the space outlined by the plants with their thorns). Very subtle and nice. The bright sun creates some bright spots that are somewhat distracting. The color works well, but I think this would also work well in black and white.

Comment by dr rick:
The contrasting color of the berries really grabs attention here. I do wish both berries were in sharp focus. The diagonal lines in the background make the photo very dynamic. I also like the interesting shape of the shadows of the berry stems.

Thumbs up for doing the obvious that nobody else dared to do.

Comment by birdyblue:
Good idea and it certainly meets the challenge IMHO. I'm not sure about the colors though.

This is a neat idea, but two immediate thoughts come to mind:
1) There's something unnatural looking about this set up, it looks a little too obviously fake.
2) If you're going through the trouble of setting this up, why not slightly change the perspective so that the two 'accuser's' heads are closer together, giving a more frame-like quality to the shot?

Oh this is pretty cool.
A very different kind of 'Framing' :)
