Which one is the imposter? Just kidding. This is a nice shot but it would have been a little better if the strawberry was ripe all the way to the top. Or maybe pull the leaves down a little.
Composition and set-up are great. The only critique I have on this one is lighting. The small shadows under the fruits & vegetables are not a problem. What is a distraction and takes visual impact away are the reflections of the fruits & veggie's. Using another white surface that is not reflective would have eliminated this problem. Next the (my guess is cherry tomatoes) lighting on the veggie's wonderfully illuminates the reds of the whole body of the subject. The same cannot be said of the strawberry. The bottom half of strawberry is darker in tone because of shadows. The top half of the strawberry is illuminated in roughly the same fashion and has a similar color tone as the veggie's. Either use of a diffused penlight shown directly on the bottom half OR selective editing on the bottom half using brightness/contrast levels should get you the same color tone & lighting as the top half of the strawberry.
