develop the raw with dpp. In photoshop: levels, curves, selective colours, dust and strarches, denoise with neat image, clone out something on the hand, on the strawberry and between the fingers, usm.

I didn't vote the macro challenge so this is the first time I've seen your image. My first impressions are that the lighting and composition are well done and the shallow depth of focus helps the strawberry look like it is coming out of the frame (slight 3D effect). Overall, it looks like a fairly standard set-up that the voters have seen many times. This would provide a "I could have easily shot that" feel instead of a "I wish I had thought of that" feel. I also think that your score suffered a little bit for not being "macro" enough. A very solid, technically strong image that might have scored closer to 6 if entered into current healthy food challenge.
Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions regarding this critique.
