Strawberrys

I think that the background has just enough interest in it that it does not pull your eyes away from the central focus, but leaves the piece feeling finished unlike if the background was a solid color. I like that the strawberries were not neatly trimmed and made perfectly symmetrical, which holds your interest longer as you pickup the little details. The chocolate was picked up at a time when the chocolate was folding leaving it offset from the peak and is flowing down the side rather that the front again making the piece more interesting. The only thing that I think could be improved is the lighting towards the bottom of the pile, but I am not sure that it can be done without washing out some other part and losing some of the works feel.
