Not expecting great things from this. Hope to be above 5.9 to keep on track with one of my goals for the year. Taking a DPC break after this.... well, will see what challenges come up ;-)

Much better than expected...

Nice lighting and focus, composition is a little odd. All the negative space in the bottom two thirds of the frame doesn't do much for the photo and the reflections or shadows are so faint they can't balance out the composition. Not voting just commenting.
You're torturing me; my raspberry bushes won't produce until summer. Beautiful close up of the berry, the center of the berry is intact & I know that's not always easy to get it to stay that way. The handle of the fork could be better focused. Nice soft pink background.
Nice approach. Ok, so it's a "simple" shot, very stock photo-ish...but I like it. :-) Sharp with good detail. I also like how the near-side fork tines are reflecting back red. Probably should have tried to minimize/eliminate the shadows some. Overall nicely done.
Beautifully done - the lighting is good, composition strong, and focus tack sharp. The subtle reflection is perfect as it does not draw my eye away from the subject, yet adds to the image in a pleasant way.
