A very cool feel of this image - the highlighted berries, the darkness surrounding it. Sorry about the DQ

You need to loet us folks in the Northeast know when you are going to be up our way! We would make a GTG of it...

That really sucks Catherine. It sounds like you didn't do anything wrong, you just weren't able to provide the file in time?

Beautifully done but I think I might have cropped to exclude the other berries but still a very striking image

I like the simplicity. Not at all a fan of the red frame. It distracts from the beautiful berries in my way of thinking. :~)
