COMPOSITION
I really like the composition fo this. The vertical-ness of the background baskets are offset nicely with the round one containing the oranges. Also, like I said during the voting, I think that the color, as well as the placement, of the oranges gives a nice resting point for the eyes.

TECHNIQUE
The focus here is awesome. I can see the details in the baskets and on the oranges. I noticed a couple of comments about being too dark. On my monitor it looks right on, there are details in the shadowy parts, adn nothing is too blown out.

OVERALL EFFECT
This is a great still life. I am sorry I can not make more suggestions for improvements, but I simply do not see what could be improved greatly. I suspect that the voters simply weren't "grabbed" by oranges in a basket, perhaps. If this had been apples, it would have looked great in my kitchen, maybe between two of the baskets I have in there! :-)

Best to you if future challenges

First, what's with the title? It doesn't even show all the oranges! Second, do you have baskets in YOUR kitchen?

Lovely color on the baskets and the oranges too, good lighting, focus is right on, good dof.

I like the composition of this, and how the fruit gives the eyes a place to rest. Very nicely done.

Good textural image. Nicely composed, good color, and dof.

More lighting on the baskets would have improved this.

A little more light into the basket with the oranges would be good.
