    Nice subject.

    Looks like your sharpest focus is towards the right edge of the image. I had too look around to spot something in focus so you probably didn't put it in the right spot.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Cherries

    Focal point was about in the top third. on the red cherry. When I blow up the original, clear reflections can be seen in water drops on the black cherries. Once again the softness issues are related to Jpg conversion and resizing. If anyone knows of a way to improve on this please help.

    Nice middle ground but I think the foreground needs to be completely in focus for this shot to work.

    Re: Cherries

    I agree GB...... the red cherry up front looks wrong. the red ones were glowing from the sun even with a white umbrella. in the shots without it some of them looked they had lights in them....
    I'll try this shot again next year.........cherries are about gone........I ate 'em Hmmmm......rasberries are coming in and blueberries aren't far behind
