Greetings from the Critique Club
First of all, welcome to DPChallenge, and congratulations on completing your first challenge.
What I like about the image:
I like the idea, bubbles, strawberries, warm colours, Summer. I like the shine of the bubbles, and the little bit of detail on the strawberry. I like the closeup view.
Challenge:
It meets the challenge topic, there are bubbles in your image. I would say that it maybe doesn't meet it head on, in the sense that, even though there are bubbles in the image, what you're "selling" is the idea of summer fun, not bubbles.
Technicals:
Your choice of F22 @ 1 second is a bit baffling to me. F22 will give you great depht of field, yet, you seem to have focused right in front of the glass, losing a lot of definition towards the straw and further back. 1 second is a bit slow I think for bubbles. I am not sure, but I would suggest going more something like F11 @ 4/10 of a second or so, and focus a bit further back. Something to try at least.
The light seems bright from the sides, maybe a smidgeon too bright. Maybe it would be worth it to try using the 2 flash units, one from the side, the other from a different place, maybe bouncing off a reflector for overall illumination.
Overall:
A good concept and a pretty good start for DPC, few of us start at 5.5. Keep going!
If you have any questions, complaints, comments, feel free to contact me. Take care,
~Ursula

| Bit too soft for my tastes. I know you have a yellow b/g but I would like to see the whites more white in this they are picking up the yellow cast of the b/g. Little curves would help this out a ton. 6 |
