porcelain berry

[Mitch Carucci]

I think a type of wild grape.

Nikon D7000 with 55mm f3.5 macro @ F5.6. 10 image stack (should have been 11 as the forward tip of the leaf is not quite in focus).

A great subject and wonderfully done! The colors are amazing -- I've never seen anything like that.

I don't mind the slight softness of the front leaf -- makes it look more like a single exposure. I'm not so sure about the sharp leaf in the UR. It pulls my attention away from the incredible berries.

Are these for real?! Fantastic colors!! Very nicely done stacking job. The OOF tip of the front leave is fine, especially since it is curved. But I do agree with Diane about the sharp leaf in the UR.

Wow this is something else, never seen the like before! I like the composition and exposure and those berries or fruits are really eye catching making for a very interesting image. Some of the leaves on the right I may be tempted to remove but having said that I think I may just leave them , I think the image may look a little too tidy if this was done.

Outstanding colors, well composed, good job on stacking. I also might be tempted to remove the in focus leaf upper right, but this is a minor thing. I like this image a lot! Excellent!

Yummy... Astros (candy coated choc ball in my country) on a tree... I think overall this is great image... perfect exposure and detail... lovely dof and depth... WD Mitch!

Hi Mitch. Like the others, I don't think I've seen this plant before - those berries are amazing! Very nice job with the exposure, comp, background, and stacking. Here's another vote for removing the leaf in the URC. In an ideal world, I would wish that the light on the berries wasn't quite so bright - but otherwise, this is excellent work!

Marvelous image with magical colors and nice colors.
