Hello and welcome to the forum!
It's cute, a nice subject... but seems to be out of focus, the foot is cut off at the bottom, why not turn your camera to portrait?

Thanks for the feedback. Hmm, the hi res picture that I have seems to have the strawberry and the eyes in focus, but yes, I did screw up the foot. I didn't realize it at the time I took it because it all happened so fast.

Regarding the vertical composition, I've taken a stab at it. See below.. I'm still not sure which one I like though. The background does seem less distracting in the vertical composition. Too bad I used f/11
