black and blue - is this shot of ANY interest to ANYONE?

[lowanglealta]

In general, I like this shot. But, I am trying to take photos that other people will like and maybe even some day, buy. Is this something that might fit in that category? How was the composition? Does is make sense to have blueberries in a bowl? These are the kinds of things I would like critiqued on.

Thank you for any and all feedback.

I think the composition is fine, blueberries in a bowl sure makes sense to me. I do wonder about blueberries in black and white though...??? You might have a look at the critique forum guidelines - adding exif per the guidelines would be useful.

Well, I just looked at more shots on your Flickr stream and see this shot (DSC_2498 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!) and see why you chose black and white now. You could correct the color in that shot with a white balance adjustment, to me this would say blueberries better in color. Also, a smaller aperture would give you a deeper depth of field and more of the berries would be in color ... but I suspect you were struggling to get enough light (I see you had ISO 800 and that color balance looks like incandescent bulbs to me). I took the liberty of adjusting white balance and doing a bit of sharpening on your original image (hope you don't mind).

Thank you for your help. I am new to the post production side of photography. I like what you did with the white balance. Thanks again!

Hi there,

I like your shot. I wouldn't buy this one, but I think you're getting there.
