A simple double exposure.

Executed brilliantly.
The red colour is bold, green subdued - intentionally done?
The effect seems to incorporate softness and sharpness at the same time - I like it.

Great - the contrast between the red berries and pastel colors of the remainder of the photo make it unusual and pleasing. As does the sharp-soft differentiation Ash mentions.

Double exposures, good ones that work anyway, are not as easy to do as it seems. When doing close ups, if the second element is too far away , the elements within the second image become too small or two large and interefere with the first. The trick is to focus on a second element that is close to the berries and let the others go where they may. I did lighten shadow areas a bit, but that's pretty much it. Trial and error, Ash, and I have the rejects to prove it!

Thanks Ash!

Many thanks everyone. I don't have macro Pentax lens, so use 50-200 zoom at longest zoom. It does a fairly good job.
