One of the good things that has come from doing this project is that I am getting away from my desk every day and going for a bit of a wander. Today I found these berries (admittedly they are about 10 metres from the office but I did find them on the way back!). Once again I struggled with the strong light behind the subject, it's definitely something I need to learn to deal with better. 

As shot the berries seemed to loose a lot of their 'redness' but once onto the computer fixing the White Balance brought everything out nicely. I tried to use the curves tool to drop the brightness in the background but it didn't really work.
