 I almost entered this in the Macro V challenge but decided against it.

I brought the plant inside and used a halogen bulb above it for lighting. I used a black velvet cloth for background.

Shot in raw mode. Post processing: curves, levels, color adjustment, crop, resized, NeatImage, USM, border.

Beautiful focus and color. Love the water drops that are clear in the middle. Great shot!

Nice focus and the DOF is good here. Lighting seems a bit harsh though. Th berries have bright light reflections on them and the shadows also seem like a bit of a distraction. Background is nice, nothing distracting there. I like the diagonal placement of the stem. I think a different crop of the right might have been a wiser choice. Maybe not to cut off the right side of the stem/leaves. Waterdrops add interest to the photo as well. I like how they are there...but not overdone. ~Heather~
