Nice use of color contrasts. Colors seem a bit uncomfortable though...
The border doesn't seem to be quite right. I would have gone with a softer border, maybe with pinks and whites or reds or something...
Aside from that, it seems like there is nice depth.
An interesting aside, there is an expression in Chinese here in Taiwan called 'cao mei' meaning strawberry. It indicates that a person has a very thin skin and is ill suited to hard work or oppression of any sort.
It is in reference to the recent (last 30 years or so) upswing in the economy here which has led to a lot of very hard working parents with not very hard working children... such that they study so much they don't go outside and don't even like to walk or go out in the sun away from the a/c.
The older generation looks down on them and calls them a bunch of strawberries.
The expression is sometimes explained by referencing the difference between a strawberry and an apple (as it was in class yesterday).

Don't like the border. Way too oversaturated, with blown highlights. Meets challenge. |

I think you have used flash to capture this shot, I am seeing flash reflection on each item. I would think of taking this picture with a defused flash rather then a direct flash. |

Not a fan of the border. I think a simple white would work much better. Oh, yeah, the photo...nice sharpness and contrast between the green and the reds. |

I like the colors and textures. Lighting may be a bit too bright? I only say that becuase of the small glare on the apple, and the small ones on some strawberries. Overall a nice photo. |
