I like plants as they offer a chance to try various types of oof bg and shallow/receding dof. Took a few shots of this fruit in a community garden before rain cut short the photo outing.

Striking image Darren. Like the contrast of green and red, although the bright patches compete for attention.

I wish the bright leaves? at the top weren't there, as they take my eye away from the lovely selective focus on the fruits below.

The red/green color contrast has a lot of impact. The brighter area at the top isn't an issue for me.

I agree with Carol- a little top crop would make this really wonderful. Love the smooth round globes.
