I concur with the others, this shot needed a deeper DOF. As long as you have it on a steady surface and you werent hand holding you should be able to get your aperature well above 4 providing you add enough light or keep the shutter open a while. maybe use the strobes you have along with some window light if they arent enough or take it outside all together in the sun. The colors are good but it feels a bit cramped on top as well and that hair(I think it is) on the battery is distracting. when you do macros every last little thing shows up so you need to clean it exceptionally well first when you can. I like the idea of the reflection, and it looks very painterly.
