Another from that wonderful evening shooting in Wonderland. I shot this one at f8 to throw the BG OOF as much as I could while still keeping the small evergreen sharp as that was my main focus. This is a hard place to shoot; at least for me; because there is so much there and it is like a sensory overload with the greens of the evergreens and reds of the lowbush blueberry.

Not too busy at all, Ed. The blueberry leaves just form a frame for the evergreen (though the latter looks a little sickly to my eye-was it a dry summer?).

Ed, the surroundings of red (both sharp and soft) does a fine job of setting off the evergreen branches.

The red and green is gorgeous. The blurred background is perfect. Nice how the green tree is framed all around with red.
