Tomato Cocktailby

While this is definately different and original, I don't thik I'm being drawn in here.
The one thing that stands out the most is the huge looking reflected tomato in the glass. That tomato looks to be soft focus probably due to the liquid in the glass? Either way, it makes the majority of the shot soft focus.
THe lighting is neat, I like how it looks in the inside of the glass on the larger looking tomato, but you can see it on the background making a grey circular area in the black background. I think I would prefer this to have one solid color background. I'm sure you could do some curves adjustments to get the background a bit darker while still leaving the tomato cocktail the way it is. Something to play with anyway.
I like the placement of the glass within the frame. The negative space to the left works for me.
Not sure about the stem on top. Makes it look more like a cherry that way, since you don't usually see tomatos with stems, but always see cherries with stems in drinks.
Overall this is a neat photo, but it's not holding my attention. Something missing to make it really pop.
