 I love it when the berries are just about ready...
I used my oldest lens (a macro, but just barely). Photoshop treatment: Levels, curves, cloned out part of a distracting branch and some cobwebs. Smart sharpened in CS2 for motion blur.

Nice alliterative title. I like how the cobwebs mirror the lines of the veins in the currents. I would like to see a clearer composition. The currents fall out of the frame on 3 sides with no clear reason for cropping them there. Perhaps framing the three berries most in focus (by rule of three?) and using a smaller depth of focus to sift the other berries away from out attention you'd get a more concentrated composition?

This is a very busy shot... There isn't really a place where you can rest your eyes... This is just my 2 cents.

I love the colors. A tighter shot would have made a bit more interesting to me. Maybe closer zoom of the berries on the right.
