Sony A7rV, Sony 90mm macro, f/10, 1/100 sec., ISO 160.
41 Image focus stack assembled in Helicon and post processed in DXO Pure Raw, ACR/PS.
In the Pacific Northwest these two species are often found in thickets. The morning and light and dew I thought added some interest to the contrasting colors. My challenge was the white berry exposure.

Hi Dan: A neat find with the Snow Berry bush growing in such close proximity to the wild rose that allowed you to make this photo.
Capturing texture and detail on white berries and white flowers is difficult, you did as well as you could with this situation to maintain some dew drop texture on the snow white berries.
Think I would lighten the rose hips just a little so they had more impact, and then a thin white border would serve to define your composition.   Posted: 11/02/2024 18:33:33

Dan - great image as difficult to not blow out the white snow berries. I agree with Murphy about brightening up the rose hips and adding a border, as it looks to me that the left side might be a tad too large meaning that a small crop on the left might be useful. Ray   Posted: 11/07/2024 00:20:47

Great shot. A thin white border would have enhanced the composition.   Posted: 11/12/2024 05:28:07

I really like the water drops on the berry. They have a good structure and are sharp.
The image is "loaded", together tit forms a whole.
I also agree with the rose and the border (eternal discussion this border....).   Posted: 11/12/2024 09:00:38
