i see the 13 but i don't understand why you would desaturate strawberries unless you had to as part of the challenge requirements....

I love the highlights on this, and the sparkles in the water on the lower right. It gives it a great feel. (just looking, not voting)

I don't think B&W was the way to go here.

Why black? Also the contrast between red strawberry and green leaves could have been emphasised. Now they have a similar blackness to them. Good arrangement though

Ah, after looking at tons of these photos, this one is refreshing. I love the light and highlights. Both subjects are in interesting poses taken from an angle that lets us see their heads. Either would be great alone as the subject (especially the lower one). The sparkles dancing on the water really take me and my brain to the beach where they belong.

Nice use of HDR, I always think it works so much better in B&W.

Great effect in the trees, it's like they're growing cotton wool.
