I like the silkypix version better because of the contrast of the red and the green. The photoshopped picture made the twigs (or vines) at the back a bit reddish. Although in photoshop, if you separate the fruits from the leaves and do its color saturation independently, I think you can achieve the same effect as in the silkypix version.

hi aly,

you got it right, i agree and thanks for the insightful comment, a newbie here in silkypix and photoshop :), and a color blind person here :).

regards,

vic
