looks very good, did you use any fining agents, like sparkeloid? Or did you just let time and careful racking do the work? Also ho much mead did you loose to the fruit? My Rapberry and Blackberry melomels lost about a third.

Just time.....and three rackings after I got it off the fruit.

It was a three gallon batch, and yeah, I lost almost a gallon because of fruit. What I did was make a gallon of show mead at the same time (3lbs orange blossom honey, water to one gallon, same yeast, etc.), and when I racked off the fruit I topped off with the show mead (and then racked the rest of the show mead into a 64oz growler so I could keep headspace down and use it again during further rackings. It seemed to work.
