Critique Club here:

First impressions: I smiled :-) Setup well, focus and DOF good and very colorful, in fact this image would also fit this week's "color" challenge perfectly!

The exposure is bang on and the lighting not too harsh. Although this doesn't represent a perfect symmetry you have met the challenge.

The paper at the bottom of the image seems to have come apart a little and light is shining through, which is a little disturbing as it keeps pulling my eye downwards. Also it seems that the fruit has lost some of its freshness, maybe because you had it there for too long before you got a photo you were satisfied with.

All in all a clever idea which you can be proud of.

COMPOSITION
This shot reminds me of a picture in a picture. The position of the clock works well. It is not in the center, so it doesn't give the shot a static look, and allows for the warm color of the wall to be prominent.

TECHNIQUE
The lighting of this shot is very interesting. The blinds (I presume) cast a neat shadow on the shot, and the clock itself is a good reflector. The focus is also good, and I like the warm hue of the colors -- it gives it a "late day, late summer" feel to it.

OVERALL EFFECT
I like the reflection in the clock, and the symbolism that could infer. I think though that if the reflection itself had been clearer, the picture would be more effective. It is tricky to do though, because in order to get the numbers AND the reflection in focus, the camera actually has to focus on two different planes.

Overall a pleasant picture.

Best to you in future challenges.
