Too much gold at the top - crop it down a bit and the photo would be better IMO. Also, there is a big reflection on the bottle - perhaps a different lighting setup would diffuse that.

I like the background you used for the picture. I think by putting some more light on the bottle would have brought more intrest to the picture. Nice Work

I really like the organization of this photo. The colors are very nice and bright as well. They display a nice image against the background color. Good job.

Comment by Olyuzi:
One issue with this photo is that there is just too much empty space in the top third and the background material is just not that interesting to look at. You could have cut a lot of that out by a tighter shot/crop. But if you wanted to maintain this shot, a tall vase with flowers or the like would have added a lot to fill up the space. Another issus is the the lighting, which appears to be overhead, should instead be directed more at an angle with front or side lighting. The pic on the whole appears underexposed, and this could easily be fixed with better lighting. Also, the angle you chose to take the picture does not reveal a lot of your subject...A higher angle showing more of the fruit I feel would be much better. I hope you haven't found this to be too critical, as I really just want to help. If you do feel so, I apologize now.

My eye wanted to go to the gold background, not the subject.

you need a light source lighting the direct front to compensate the light from the top... the wine bottle and basket are very dark.

Was going to say you needed to smooth out the background, but the more I look at it the better I like it as it is. Need more light on the bottle especially, then lighten the whole photo a little. The bowl appears to be a little different and should be able to be seen better. Has great potential.
