Blackberrys growing in my back yard. They should be ready for the pie in about 3 weeks.

The day was cloudy & it was hard to get the colors/exposure I wanted. I was not pleased with or without the flash. I chose the entry with "thumbnail WOW factor"...turns out, the flash wasn't they way to go. The non-flash entry may have faired better.
Thanks for your valuable input. Please see the non-flash version and comment if you care to.
Zap228 ~ I tried a number of settings this 'non-macro' shot produced much more focus.
mffnqueen ~ the rest of the backgrounds available were worse..
scalvert ~ Mmmm... save 1 berry 4 me! I put some on the one I'm saving for you! It's ready to ship...
Jesuispeure ~ I did, see above.
labuda ... you won't die by then ~ I'm saving them for Shannon Ha Ha
Maverick ~ Yes! Well it's time that I got that slave working and rig up a bounce flash. The cameras flash was not up to the task.
Nice idea. The lighting could be better. If it was a sunny day, maybe a shot from underneath the berries up towards the sky would look nice. Though blurred, the background still catches a lot of my attention here and gives an overall impression that the shot is under-exposed.
Looks like direct flash was used. There is a bluish hue with is distracting. Along with the washout effect from the flash. Focus seems to be more on the leaf than the berry.
