I am somewhat familiar with this process as they do harvest cranberries in Wisconsin.

The photo is sharp throughout. I really like the action in the photo. The man with the yellow rope in the background adds interest. The man in the foreground seems to be muscling around the yellow barrier. The composition seems to be nicely divided in thirds by the yellow barriers.

Nice post.

    THe guy with the rope is getting ready to tie it to the post. They open the flotation hose so the cranberries inside will flow down the narrow pathway to be picked up by the conveyor belt and loaded on the truck. Thank you so much for the awesome rating and review!

What a great entry for this contest. Informative artist's notes. I like how you've describe the process of the gathering of these cranberries. Well captured and is surely an image with a story to tell. Wish you well in this contest.

This is a very good entry for a contest like this, and you have pictured these working men so well. I never knew you could handle cranberries like this. In Norway we just go out and pick the from the forest.

The photo is very sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the photo. The colors are crisp and clear, and the exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped, and it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a lovely and well taken photo with a very good DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    These guys are in the process of loading the cranberries on to the truck. It's when they go up loading belt into the truck that they are washed by a guy standing there with a hose. Glad you enjoyed Thanks for the great review!

This is a fine shot of the Berrymen having harvested the cranberries, accumulated them in the floating dam all crisp and clean. Seems like an enjoyable process especially on a warm day. Thank you for sharing. Ray

    It was a beautiful day and it was fun watching the whole procedure. A lot of people were there to take it in. Sadly I don't think they harvest cranberries here anymore here! Thanks for the great review!
