the background is distracting and taking the eye away from the main subject. Also it might help to put the subject off-center

Good idea, but it would probably have been better to shoot this when the sun isn't so harsh, and to align the background so the birdbath(?) isn't distracting from the top of the pineapple.

Even with the shallow DOF (nice job BTW), the background is still too distracting.

I would have liked this better with a solid background.

The yellow on the right side of the bowl is kind of distracting.

Short and sweet - worth 7 for its neatness

I think a "quieter" background would have improved this picture and kept the eye on the main subject.

although the lighting here is pretty good, the composition is not. your subject is almost in the middle here.. use the rule of thirds! You've started to use your DOF to create a Boke effect here but your backround is still a little cluttered. Nice use of color with the blue table cloth and the different colored fruit but your bananas are looking a little shabby. Look forward to seeing more from you!
