Nice close up of the strawberries. They look so good. I like how they are white on top to show highlights. The background adds to the mystery. Thanks for sharing.

The background is so interesting. It looks like filmy, translucent material imprinted with designs swirled under the table and, of course, smoke. The strawberries look like they're floating. Very creative.

I like the mix of genres. It is intriguing how the realistic captured strawberries are placed on the surreal smoky background. The colors of the background work well with the colors of the fruit. The strawberries are well focused. The fruits are in a pleasing arrangement and well placed into the frame. I personally would replace [clone] the little red spots in the right corner above with the white-orange smoke beside it.

You have presented a bright and beautiful arrangement of strawberries. A very interesting visual effect with the faux smoke.

Your composition and framing has produced an simple and elegant still life arrangement.

Camera technique is spot on sharp and clear. The DOF is precise and sharp and crisp.

I like how the smoke perpetuates a sense that the berries are somehow floating.

An excellent entry for this contest, good luck ... B-)) Bob

Interesting background you have chosen to make these rich coloured strawberries 'pop'. They look very juicy and fresh and delicious. Lighting is excellent to show all the detail. Well done.
