I decided it was time for something completely different. One of my potted strawberries has the most perfect looking berries on it and I wanted to preserve them in my memory, strawberries being one of my favorite things on this earth. I thought this photo came out quite nicely and wanted to share it with everyone. Best when viewed in full screen.

Donna, the composition you chose along with the lighting makes this is WONDERFUL image. Now, where's the sugar? :)) - Patty P.S. Gardening tips for growing these in a pot would be greatly appreciated; I've had little luck outside. Maybe it's the 100+F temps? :) Thanks!

That's fantastic, Donna! Your photo is making my mouth water! I love strawberries too. I wish they grew year round here in NE, but alas they don't. This is such a wonderful shot!

Straberries are my favorite fruits, this picture is just mouthwatering.
I realy like how the light is done here, from light to very dark red, the shades going all the way to black, the composition is great....
Now i am out of words, my english language can not describe enough how i like this photo..but still i can say 10 out of 10 when marking was done here.

Had to give it a 10, Donna. Beautifully done. Perfect exposure. Amazing color saturation. First rate work. Welcome to Caedes. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)

Great picture Donna. I like the shadows and lighting on this fruit. You captured it well and at a good time with both ripened and green strawberries. Very well done.

Oooooh yum strawberries! The two in front look so good! This looks great with the bright reds and greens against the black background.
