Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Composition:

Is not too bad, but I do feel that repositioning yourself so the top of the box was not angled away from the camera (or that's how it seems) as it is the top of the box does not look level yet the rest of the image does look level, I believe this to be a perspective issue.

Technicals:

Colour is good and the focus looks to be reasonable, it could do with some sharpening over the whole image though.

Post-Processing:

As mentioned above the image definitely needs some sharpening, a high pass filter on softlight would help a lot. Colour wise it looks good and I like the fact that you have upped the contrast.

My Opinion:

The subject is ok for the challenge, fruit is mundane in nature :) and you have done a fairly good job of making it look non mundane, I like the fact that you had candles inside the box but I wonder if the amount of light outside the box kind of detracts from this a bit, had the box been the brightest area it could have been a stronger image IMO.

Hope this was of some use, should you wish to discuss any part of the critique further please feel free to PM me.

Good luck in future challenges!

Personally, I'd say a fruit still life is nearly as typical as one could get in terms of photographing that subject matter, but the colors do add some additional interest.

Seems a little out of focus, my eye is traveling to any spot. Also fairly busy, maybe just one set of fruit the next time
