    I don't like where you have placed the focal point. I think it should be at the closest point of the strawberry, then let the depth trail back.

    I think the composition is fine, but wouldn't mind seeing some other shots.

    I'm with danic on this one, but if the leaf is to be the focal point, I would crop the bottom 50% off the shot at a minimum.

    I dont know...To me it has a cool sort of "earth-rise" feel to it. (The NASA photo of the earth rising taken from the surface of the moon....)

    Thanks Hexnut, that was precisely the effect I was going for.
