a bit off focus?

lots of distracting elements here ... the blown highlights outside ... the curtains, window frame ... also not very sharp ...

Might be my screen, or my eyes, that the out-pf-focus foreground frogs detract from the main subject. How would this look with a shallow depth of field, bringing thehearts & bottle into focus and the background window softly blurred?

I think the idea is good here, the reflection in the glass of wine is intriguing. I am not sure what the apple has to do with the wine, and the picture doesn't make it clear. I think, for the image to work better, it would be best to not have such a busy background (both the tablecloth and the courtain), it's too much to absorb, and it really takes away from the best part of the image, which is the reflection in the glass of wine. ~6

Good idea, but the lighting is very subject unfriendly. The curtain in the back is too bright almost making it the subject. If you had put it on a continuous sheet of white paper and lit it from the lower left, the shadows could have created your diagonals, and the subject would have been lit. This can all be done with the window lighting. You don't need artificial.

It is too busy for me, I think the background and table cloth distract from the subject. Speaking of the subject, there is just not enough definition to it.

Comment by h2:
lacks of contrast, lighting is flat, different decors take away form the main subjects. try single colored cloth next time

Where's diagonal?

While there are some lines in the placemat that go diagonally, the main lines in the composition (glass, curtains) are all strongly vertical. Also, all of the light comes from the back, and it looks like the apple is sitting in the dark.
