I try not to critique pieces that I absolutely love and can find no fault with - I think that's what s are for. What that means, of course, is that I think you have better-realised pieces in your gallery than this one.
Which isn't to say that there's nothing I like with this at all - far from it. I particularly like the red colour of the berries, which is vibrant without being oversaturated. The blue tones in the rest of the image complement this red nicely, and the neutral background allows the berries to stand out without being completely bland.
My principal problem with the image, however, is the foregrounding of the out-of-focus berry. It's the first thing that my eye jumps to, before appreciating the details in the water droplet and towards the back of the berry. I'm not sure how easy it would've been - or whether it would've been possible at all - to bring more of the central berry into focus, but that'd be my principal modification to this shot if I could change one thing.
