I came across these three men (and one dog) harvesting cranberries in early november... they were wrestling with the last of the cranberries down at one end of the bog, and I was able to get a few shots of them before continuing my walk... the man on the left is raking cranberries toward the man in the middle, who is raking them into a submerged suction hose, which spits them out into a truck nearby... the man on the right is pulling a containment boom tighter around the berries... and the dog is having a drink of water... so on Thanksgiving, as you savor your cranberry relish next to the stuffing and turkey, think of these three men and one dog working hard to bring the little red berries to all of our holiday tables... I know I will... ;-)

I'm always amazed when I see images of harvesting cranberries. It looks SO different to any agriculture over here. Fresh or cranberries are gaining popularity over here but no where near as in the USA.
Mary, this is a fascinating image with so much to look at. I hope you had a good walk.

Four eyes are better than two.
I have never seen this done, not only is this a very interesting, and well captured image, it is very interesting! My daughter is fixing a ham dinner for us this year, not sure if we have relish or not, but I sure relish a good cranberry relish. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Great lighting and shadows. I like this type of shot where no one knows they are being photographed. It is so natural.

Wow - just in time for Thanksgiving! Fantastic photo of the cranberry harvest. I recall one of the bigger suppliers of everything cranberry had a TV commercial showing two gents standing in the middle of a bog of cranberries. This is the real Mccoy. Thanks for sharing!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Mary - Terrific use of the morning sunlight as backlighting for this image. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
Great entry for the contest Mary. Love the subtle tones, and it does portray a story of a cranberry harvest. Good luck.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
As I said above, this is a wonderful image and deserved to do well. Congrats!

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Grats on your win in the contest. Being originally from MA, I appreciate the cranberry industry. This captures all the essence of a cranberry bog and also the beginning of the early morning work day of any farmer in the world. Well done.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.
Seeing this hard working dog makes my heart melt at the idea that I owe my favourite meal [yes, not a side dish or a dessert LOL] to the efforts of this canine who like mine is not afraid to work like hell !!! LOL
Then last not least by no means, this image has magic quality. The lighting here and composition and every other aspect one may choose is special and excellent and unique.
Yours devoted fans,
