Reflections in Macro

[kawazu]

I went out and took this picture and really like it, the problem being that when I looked at it more closely I noticed something off

Now, I'm used to being reflected in windows, glass, and water, (and of course working around such reflections with angles, polarizing filters, etc) but not in macro and not on the surface of a berry (one that was even a very mottled surface!) I know that I can be burnt in and fixed through some more post processing, but any suggestions on how to prevent reflections in macro? I've never run into this problem when doing a macro shot before...

Also looking for critique on the shot, any different framing, cropping, lighting, or post processing effects you can recommend would be awesome! Thanks!

I don't have any help for you on preventing the reflections, but wanted to say it was neat as I looked, and looked, and then realized that was a person reflected there! Now I want to get a photograph of myself reflected in blueberries, or holly, or something similar!!

Haha... yeah, it is a little "where's waldo" kind of and once you see it it's like "how did I get there" sort of moment... The berries (or whatever they were) weren't wet or particularly shiny so I can imagine this would work for a lot of other kinds, probably blueberries especially...
