technically, this is a very nice photo, with good focus and sharpness to things needed. for some reason though, i just don't like it. i didn't vote in the challenge, so hadn't seen this before, but i thought i'd let you know. i can't say why i don't like it, i just don't. i realize this isn't too helpful, but you were asking about it. take heart, and keep trying.

She is in great focus, but the focus is a bit soft on the strawberries. I love the look on her face.

Lighting on the hands is a bit overexposed, overall very nicely done.

wish the DOF were deeper to bring her fingers and the front strawberries into focus ...

The photo is great, my only complaint is the strings on her right shoulder.

I think many people in this challenge are entering an image with any theme whatsoever and adding the word 'pure' to the front. Pure should convey completeness, being undiluted, innocence, etc. This isn't a pure example of anything.
