Oriental Bittersweet (Celastrus Orbiculatus) - Red Berries

The other day I was discussing my macro lens with one of my lunchtime walking buddies and he said I should bring it along and take some shots. I always talk about these berries, they were brought to the US from Asia for ornamental purposes in the late 1800 and are very common in New Jersey like many other invasive species. I like the color contrasts so they're a favorite of mine and catch my eye, I decided that berries were what I was after. Pretty good walk and I got two shots I was happy with. Straight up shot with a couple of texture layers.
