Some rose hips shot in the late afternoon sun while on a visit to the duck pond. So I decided to go with the dark version for upload purposes. The lighter version introduced some weird colours in the background making it not suitable for public consumption. A little bit of cloning for compositional effect, otherwise pretty much straight from the camera.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

The hips make your photo look big Wendell. An off center view would have been better. Since you think a little off center that should be no problem.
I like the darker tones.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I see that TicK is finally learning something from me, Wendell. For years I've been telling him to offset the subject, but the man never listens to me. Now he's spouting off this information as if he thought of it.

I'm happy to see that TicK agrees with me. Offset the subject. Beautiful tones and I like this nice and dark. Excellent close-up. I sure wouldn't want to pop one of these babies in my mouth. Reminds me of a prickly pear.

Great close-up looking almost 3D. I agree with the people commenting that off-centering maks for a more interesting ad compelling image/

Well Wendel kinda looks like they want to jump out of the frame nice one.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Lovely capture and you got the main subject a 100%. The light and colour on the rose hips is stunning and lovely detail too.

I like the darker lighting in this very much Wendell and you picked up that nice shine on the hips.
