Found these at the Arboretum and had never seen them before but through they were striking. Right now the grounds are covered with them. While they look beautiful, they are toxic but I'm told they 'won't kill you', just make you very sick. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by, always enjoy your visits. Anita

Wow - these are beautiful berries, Anita! I really like the framing that ties the color back in and the composition is powerful. Perfect for the desktop - thanks!

thats a most amazing colour
certainly looks completely synthetic! although I will take your word that they are _real_ berries of natural colour
a highly striking photo well bound by the frame of same berry colour :)

Beautiful colors here Anita! The texture and focus on the foliage is right on target. The frame compliments your work here perfectly. Brava!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
Wow, I never seen berries of this color before. A wonderful image & so nicely presented Anita. I love how the framing compliments the berries. Beautifully done.

Very nice and the complimenting border works well. Good job.

super job on the compostion. i really like how your DOF is centered at the berries in the foreground, and then fades out of focus toward the background. nice!!

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.

Both my Wife Patti and I will be posting photos on this site. Hope you enjoy them as much as we have fun taking them. And many thanks to all who view them and comment.
Wow, that color is a knock out color! There is so much light in it and it really makes those berries reach out and grab your attention! Beautiful presentation, Anita.

All of the above, and if I repeat them, well, you'll just have to hear it all over again :))))..lol..I usually just defer to my colleagues in comments when I am this far down the list, but I can't pass up a word or two on these most unusual berries..First of all, fess up..you dyed these, right? j/k j/k Your focus on these tiny beauties in the front is flawless and creates that wonderful DOF as it blurs softly out toward the background. The health of the leaves makes this even more appealing because it allows us to concentrate on the sweet reflections on the berries and this most marvelous of colors. The whole of the composition here is striking and for me it is embodied best in that sharp little leaf that is sprouting up from the main subject in the front angling off to the left. It creates a most appealing and definite demarcation between what you want us to examine in minute detail and what you want to set as your canvass. It presents a little bit of an unusual twist on composition and I join in the chorus of "I like what you've done here." :)PJ

I'm in awe of this photo Anita, it's truly one of the clearest, most precise photos I've seen in a long time and the color is amazing. I love it.

I'm glad you told me these are toxic. They are growing all over my 5 acres and in the neighbor"s woods. They are beautiful.

~Dorothy Parker (American short-story Writer and Poet, 1893-1967)
What a vibrant colour! I have seen the pictures of them before, but never a live plant! Perhaps as well - I have a habit from childhood to pop a berry or a leaf into my mouth first, and ask questions later, lol - it is a wonder I am still alive!

SORRY I AM INFREQUENT VIEWING/COMMENTING!
I have many things going on that are keeping me off the pc...
LOL at Terri about her cooking :)
Your framing matches these berries perfectly Anita, I love the shades of green in this and of course the color of those berries too. I've never seen any like this. Nice photo.
