Lots of stuff in the FG. Not sure if it was intended but it seems to take away from the BG which I preceive to be the subject of the simplistic beauty.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a pretty good idea, and the colors are great here. The main problem is, the very centerpoint of your shot is out of focus. I think your plane of focus is a little bit behind that front clump of berries. What happens is, I am left with my eyes wandering around looking for what you intended me to see.

Also, your image may be showing something that has an aroma or scent, but it isn't really conveying that sensation to the viewer.

The composition and colors are very nice, however.

Steve

I'm sure these berries are aromatic - what do they smell like when on the plant? What kind of berries are they? I can't 'imagine' a scent with this shot. Your depth of field is bit off, I think it would be better with the clump of berries in the center as your clear focus and all sides around it fading back. You might try a slight sharpen as well.

The colors are good and abundantly spread out. The main mass of berries seems to be the center bunch, and secondly to the right. This leaves a large area on the left that seems a little empty. The focus seems off a little on the bottom section of the middle berries, but is fine everywhere else.

These are hard pictures to take in the fall, theirs nothing to mask the uninteresting background behind the tree. Curious about your choice of subject. I've never the thought of berries on the tree as having any scent at all. Guess that's just me, it might be!

Focus is soft and it is too central

Comment by Artifacts:
Good use of DOF. Color is fine. My preference would be that the central cluster were in sharp focus since that draws the eye.

Interesting? Maybe. Smell? Not really. THe berries are out of focus, and the background is disturbing (2)
