I can't find anything to say I don't like about this picture. The lighting is good, the blacks are deep, the focus is sharp, the composition is appropriate ... technically excellent. As a whole, though, the image leaves me underwhelmed. Can't say precisely why that is; maybe its just that images like this have been done many times before. But then again, I could say the same thing about most of the flower shots in this challenge, and they don't hit me the same way. I'm not trying to be overly critical here (I gave you a 7); just sharing my reaction.

Nicely composed. The berry could have been a bit sharper; sharpness seems to fall off a bit in the bottom third of the image.

Very nice composition, and beautiful blacks with minimal editing. This one would have done well in personification, too.

Great image ... you kept the focus on the small object, even with a much larger object in the frame. Difficult to do, as demonstrated by the many other images in the challenge with a single object against a monochrome background.
