Took this shot one day in the park a few weeks back. I'm not sure if I should ditch it or not. I'm not crazy on the red green contrast, and I can't seem to do much with it. Let me know what you all think,any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Jewel

Hmmm, difficult one that.

I think the red/green work very well together, very xmasy holly berries and all that. For me the problem is the presentation, with the OOF branch in the background, faded and shiney highlights on the berries.

Have you got a polariser? That would bring out the saturation of the berries if you get a chance again.

Ditto and a single berry, closer perhaps might work better ? Needs to be one in peak condition to make the best shot ... imo !
