HI from the C Club!

You are definitely on the right track here with this shot.

Now first impressions, very static. Maybe twisting them would have helped with the POV and the DOF. Having a light shine underneath them, would have given you amazing results.

The black border is so so, I would try it without the border and see what happens

PP work, not a lot you could have done there. Your colours are clean, your lines are sharp, you are tack sharp on your focus.

But it also seems a bit grainy, bring that ISO down as low as you can and see if that helps somewhat.

I would love to see you re shoot this for a challenge, with underlighting and a twist in the straws, just to see the difference.
