Good that you got a catchlight in the eye. The composition is nice...gives a natural feeling:) How about adding a 1.4xTC to the lens to go the extra distance?

Lovely. May be ISO 400 and a further narrow aperture to get the entire vegetation in focus would have been even better. It is nice that you got it in the act of picking the fruit. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
