The textures come out really well, especially on the blueberries (parchment /wizened skin) comes to mind.
The leaf looks wrong and yet it adds to end result. Maybe a different shade of leaf.

The color blueberries work for me, and the lighting on the cherry is very fine. The B&W cherry looks like an apple to me.

Thanks a lot for your comments...
NT, I will try with a darker color, I think that is the color of the real leaves....
Toad, I never saw an apple in the B&W version, but you are right!!

I really like the coloured ones...they seem to convey both freshness and age a bit more fully...
What colour is the background?
I ask this, as I was wondering if adding filters would have any graet effect in making the fruit stand out.

The background is a cheap sheet of thick black paper. As part of my post processing my background turned out a bit blueish. I was working great in the cherry but not so much in the blueberries. That is why I desaturated a bit. But you are right, it is a nice background that you can turn into different colors.
Thanks for your comment...

I love the cherry, both in monochrome and colour. The simplicity and clarity of it is exquisite.
The idea of the blueberries is good - they may suffer a bit from being placed next to the cherry photos - but the middle one looks a little ripe.

Thanks Matthew, I am very happy you like the cherry picture.

About this berry... I could say I thought about this when I place them and the idea was to say the old and bigger one support the rest, like in a family... but sadly I didn't think about this idea until I saw my picture, I liked it so much and I had to make me a story to leave it.
Then I thought, well, there are two options. To delete it because one berry is wrinkled, or to leave it for the viewer to have something to look at and to talk about... I took the second option...
Thanks for your comment Matthew.
