Rowan Tree Berries

I cheated a bit to get this photo. The tree was growing on some waste land next to our local supermarket and hanging over the wall adjacent to where I had parked my car. So I snipped off this bunch of berries together with some leaves, and took them home to photograph in my garden to get a decent background.

The berries are now hanging in our apple tree for the birds to eat :-)

The Rowan Tree Berries look great with your garden backdrop.
A beautifully composed and sharp picture.
Cheating means being creative , in some cases... ;-)

That's not cheating, that's dedication and the result with the bokeh was worth it! Nice idea to leave the berries to the birds-)

Perhaps that's why the birds aren't interested in them!

Sehr schön gestaltet, Keith!
In unserem Garten stehen einige Vogelgehölze mit Beeren, aber die Vögel fressen sie nicht. Sie finden genug anderes, besseres. Solche Beeren fressen sie in harten Wintern, wenn sie nichts anderes finden. Aber wir haben keine harten Winter mehr.

Thanks very much Wilhelm.........I'm pleased you like this photo and my method of getting it.

I think you're right...............and you can't blame the birds for going for the easy food.
