RED berry

my front yard

Rule: Correct color fidelity
Comment: Slight color shift to lower than true color fidelity.
The overexposure burned out the edges of the leaves making them into a white pattern, which then set off the green leaves. This changed the color of the berry (reddened it) and, due to the shifted white balance, the berry can officially be called a wintery RED berry instead of simply a fall fruit.

Ok, you broke the rule and you explained why - poor lighting, apparently, but that is not a justification for why the shot works, merely a reason for the cause, which was out of your control. I hate to throw this to pending, actually feeling like a bitch doing it, but if I don't I feel it wouldn't be fair to the others, especially since I am being policed for fairness. I'm forced to be even handed with the transfers, so, alas, off you go, awaiting an explanation for why the incorrect color fidelity works. It does, btw. ~ Lonnit

What TV said. I like it. John

Nicely cluttered with random detail throughout complies with a modernist rule to avoid a focus point. Red is difficult to keep in its place, but the berry is well balanced here against all the sharp detail and muted green cast. -tv
