I'd have to agree with what some of the others have said. There's too much competing in this image - colors, in/out of focus subjects, and just random 'things'. The out of focus gourds in the front are distracting; the corn cob on the left is barely in the image, I would have either included it or not; the ribbon sort of winds through the image without purpose, half facing us, half away; and there seem to be two or three different colored towels(?) peeking through from beneath the gourds and pumpkin. I think better organization and more attention to the little things could have really made this a great image. Sometimes simplicity is best. :-)
Edit: I meant to comment on the roses. As with the corn cob, I would have done something about the rose on the right edge of the image. I'm not really sure they fit into the image well, though. Part of thinks they may somehow have a chance - you know, the death of the rose representing the beginning of fall. Just not sure about them...

| This photo has some nice colors...but they all seem to compete for my attention. Also, the out of focus items in the front are distracting to me. I think the idea was good, but maybe trying to do too much with this shot? I like your corn one better...much simpler and easy to enjoy. This one seems to have much the same intent, but not done as well. |

This shot is very busy and I'm not sure what you are trying to say with it. There are too many elements and not enough lines to lead your eye to a subject. Is there a subject? Also, the colors are a tad bit flat maybe due to not enough lighting. The image is also flat. What lighting did you use? Ambient light? Try using a light (as simple as a table lamp or clamp lamp) on one side to create shadows, textures and depth.
Hope it ain't too negative for ya, just sayin' what I see.

Cool picture, it's mainly the powerful colours which draw my attention. You might have chosen a different crop, the limit between the pumpkin and the rest of the table is too close to the horizontal center of the image. Apply some rules of thirds to make the picture more harmonic. The two things (pumpkins?) at the lower-right are out of focus. They are distracting from the rest of the image.
Edit: I appreciate the choice of the title. Much better than 'autumn' :)

This one has potential, with some really nice colors, but things can be improved (in order of importance):
1) The 50% vertical split composition is less impactful
2) the OOF foreground leaf is distracting
3) the flowery table cloth or cloth adds nice color, but perhaps you should exclude to emphasize the real growing things
4) the slight inclusion of an object (corn) on the left is not enough to count as part of the pic, but enough to distract.
