It looks like the focus is in front of the tomato...I couldn't tell it was a tomato without the subject. The bright reflection and water? spots are distracting. I don't like the square composition either. Sorry.

The water droplets in the lower left look like they were the focus point for the camera. I think that tightening up the focus on the tomato and working on the framing would greatly improve this picture

I wouldn't know this was a tomato except for the title. Out of focus, too much negative space.

Lighting's a bit harsh and focus seems off.

It could be a tomato, yet it appears to look more like a red gumball - to my untrained and non-vegetarian eyes. I also keep looking down at the water droplets. They draw my attention away from your main subject.

Nice tomato. He seems a little lonely out there in the middle of all that grey, though.

Lower left is in focus. Tomatoe is not unfortunately. Maybe intentional?

If the tomato is your center of interest, it would work better in focus. I do like the selective desat. 4

Maybe if there was another subject to emphasis the size of the tomatoe? =)
