a great find and fantastic close up; no idea what itb is, never seen before this strange plant, with a "berry" looking like a cotton ball; excellent focus;

A good view Mary, on this different looking shrub. Suspect the berry is not good to eat. Like the background, good focus and frame all well done.

Nice choice of subject. Normally they would pick a flowering tree or shrub. I wonder if it had flowers too and kind of look like it has been burnt out? The white berry looks very interesting, great depth of filed and love the green background. Good shot!

Never seen this before, good focus and lighting.
Good framing, the muted background emphasizes the branch.
Well done.

I really like this composition. The subject is beautiful in its simplicity and shown in very fine colors. The softly rendered background makes it stand out and the perfect exposure maintains detail in the white.
