About the photo: In taking this photograph, I was looking at the juxtaposition between the two types of fruit, their sizes, their colors, and even their levels of sweetness. Placed against the starkness of the white plate, each fruit stands on its own, but it serves as a complement to the other.

This a great shot. Such texture in the blueberries. I can’t believe you didn’t use macro. How did you get such great depth of field without it? Also, did you use a tripod?

Hi, Bill, thanks! I didn’t use a macro or a tripod. Having a high ISO very strong natural light aided in the sharpness (lack of tripod).
