Greetings from the Critique Club:

I think this is a pretty well executed shot that probably deserved to do better in voting. You achieved pretty good focus on the dropping strawberry and you offered up a good splash phase too.

There is room for improvement though - the cream is rather greenish in colour and could be corrected; was the bowl green?

Socom's observation about the reuse of the strawberry is a good one and certainly the cream-filled pits of the strawberry detracts from its vibrancy. There's still some movement unsharpness in the cream, I'd like to offer some advice on how to freeze that but my knowledge of flash work is miniscule. I wonder about your aspect ratio too - there does seem to be some spare real estate outside of the area of interest that you might have used to better effect.

Overall though, this is a very good effort.

Paul

I really like this shot, I just wish you had washed off the strawberry after each shot (making an assumption that this is why its not all red and not because of the splash), I would have loved to have seen a bright red strawberry. Either way.. nice!

nice idea but could have been great if you saturate some colors here.
