I'd say it's because of the lighting - a bit unnatural since it is coming from below - maybe reflection from yellow or orange ground? We have a juniper bush in the yard, and there's nothing "coppery" in their berries... OTOH the other picture of berries shows an unnatural purple coloring - the correct color is a dark, slightly greyish and muted, but pure blue, as seen only on the top of the berries in this FPC. If the photographer can be persuaded to do some color balancing, I would support. (BTW, as the berries mature, their color changes from green to pink, then to purplish, and finally to greyed blue.) --

ProfDEH: I suspect it's to some extent assumptions: Not so much what angle is the light coming from, but what angle the camera is pointing, since this could just as easily be looking down at a horizontal sprig, for instance. Adam Cuerden(
