Greetings from the Critique Club.
First impressions are that the shot is good as it is nicely balanced and the fruit is arranged so as to help the flow of our eye.
Technically the lighting seems a bit harsh (see the hotspots on the fruit) and it is concentrated in an area that is a little too small as it drops off on some of the fruit too soon for my liking. The DOF is large enough but that banana seems a little soft to me.
Artistically I like the choice of background but the widescreen style framing is not a good look here. Often it helps a crop like this but there I think it is too much of a contrast with the shot itself and with a fruit still life, a dramatic contrast is not what is needed.
In summary this is a good shot that has a couple of areas for improvement that held it back.
Feel free to PM
me if you have any queries.

| Nice layout overall. Lighting could use some attention (it's a little harsh), and the DOF should have been deeper to get the back fruit in focus. JMO of course. :-) Good luck. |

| Generally I like these type of frames. Here I don't think it's working to help your image. The white line stops the eye. Your composition is very good and so is the color. The lighting it a little too harsh.6 |
