I like the composition of this image, it appeals to me - but for a wider audience, I'm not sure if the juxtaposition of blooming berries and withered berries is clear enough.
Many thanks to xianart for suggesting the topic of this challenge. I enjoyed shooting for it.

I like this a lot. The tension between the fresh berries and the dying berries is wonderful. In fact, I would've cropped it so the blue ones are closer to the bottom and the red ones are closer to the right edge to make that contrast even stronger. Yes, it's a multi-subject composition - that's the point. :)
I think my fave part of this was the dark toned water color background. I liked the forcus on the blue berries - it makes them stand out from all the others, even the blurred ones. I like the composition. My guess is that many did not see the comparison between the two groups (although, i have to admit, I'm still looking for the mushrooms!) :)
Well the idea is nice. I like the shallow dof and the colors are good. But I think we have too much subject, or too many subjects. I'm not sure if the blue berries or the red berries are the subject.
I like the composition. Did you saturate the colours? They seem a bit oversaturated and the blown out whites are a bit distracting. But all in all a fine photo.
If I were to guess, I would think this might be Colleen's. (And if not, take it as a compliment just the same!) I love the way the berries reach out - almost literally out of time. Exquisite composition and light.
