This idea is a bit of a reach, but creativity is what photography is all about, so I won't fault that. Maybe some toothpicks with little silver gloves would have made this a bit cooler. Also, lost a bit of focus on the beet root, and there is unnecessary shadow on the background. If you prop the beet on a pin or toothpick next time, your shadow will be lost if the lighting is right. Anyway, nice reference to MJ.
DPC isn't fond of title-dependent entries (I know from experience) but this is indeed kinda cute! A bit soft on focus, maybe, but definitely a different idea!
