Greetings from the Critique Club! You asked for an in-depth critique of your image and here we go:
I like your choice of subject - something so recognizably red in B&W. The lighting is also pretty good.
There are a few challenges, which are reflected in your score:
Edward Weston uses deep depth of field in his images, so everything is in the same amount of focus. In your photo, you used a shallow depth of field, so only a part of the strawberry is in focus. Your 18-55mm might have worked better for this particular shot.
The crop is very tight - it doesn't give the viewer any room to approach the subject. Stepping back from the berry would have helped create a sense of dimension. With the tight crop, the image appears fairly flat.
The cloth upon which the berry sits is so nice and sharp that it brings attention to it, and it competes with the structure of the berry. A untextured cloth might have worked better here. Also, correcting some of the things mentioned above would have eliminated focus on anything other than the subject itself.
I hope this is useful to you!
Best wishes,
Alicia

| Seems a bit too abstract to be a Weston. (not voting) |
