A closer take on this subject might have made the sauce on the plate stand out a little better.

looks delicious! just a nice tiny bit of sheen on strawberry, too easy to over or under-do.

nice photo, colors are great. i like the texture in the red background and "warm" temperature of the red color makes my mind imagine the slice of cool cheesecake even more appealing

This is too sharp (bet you thought you'd never hear that one...huh?).
The current style of food photography rarely if ever has everything in focus. If the food image is being used to idendentify specific product such as, a spice, an herb, a fish or utensil, etc. only then is sharp focus necessary. Otherwise full dof food images went out with Betty Crocker Cookbooks in the 1970/s/80's. Cheers!

Having said that, this will probably place better than my shot.

The plate seems a bit too busy to really show the food. (But I really like the plate! *smile* )

I can absolutely see your reasoning to match the colour and texture of the backdrop to the vivid red of the dish here but for me, it's just too much. What with the red of the strawberry on the slice and within the slice and of the sauce, it's just too much. Perhaps if it were on a plain plate without the sauce I'd keep the red fabric backdrop but otherwise, I'd say, something plainer. But that's just my preference.
