Welcome to DPS.
That's a very nice shot as is. The only change I would make is how it's cropped or the background. If you could not avoid the light area at the top by changing your perspective, I would have cropped it out.

Merry Christmas!

I love the concept "Cucumber Curl". Good colour treatment.

Hi !...

I really like the DoF you used and the color treatment. What I think could've been better is the angle or the crop you used... this is to say, you could've added more perspective by lowering a bit camera and looking at the subject from below or maybe add more context by cropping less background on the left.

A great picture anyway and a delicious background bokeh
