Hi Wendy, greetings from our Critique Club! :)
First of all, I think you did a great job with the processing, it's the thing that I notice more than anything.
Lighting
It's just perfect the way the inside of the bowl slips gently into shadow, so very smoothly. Also, the left side is dark, to add to the dynamic of the scene. Also, the ISO 1600 might have been too much, you could probably use a tripod, bump that aperture to f/13ish with a lower shutter speed.
Composition
A little more space at the bottom would helped the shot, as with the focus on the front element. It could use just a little more clarity.
Pros - the way the peaches fall from the bowl is very smooth and clean, it's really a perfect composition.
Also the seamless background is so wonderfully textured, and it fades out very nicely.
Processing
You were able to succeed in recreating the look you wanted. The photo looks like a painting and has very rich earthy tones. It has a lot of grain, but it just adds to the overall look.
Still, it was a 6+ score, and it's a very good picture.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

| I like the simplicity of this. The background color is a wonderful complement to the peach color and texture. |

| Very nice overall. Good job of putting everything together compositionally. Only minor nit is that I wish the very front peach was within the focal range also. Good luck. |

| Nicely done. I think: I would like to see one more object in the shot on the right. ??Perhaps not let the peaches stand on their own.?? It is a nice nice shot with very good lighting and color. 7 |

| great composition, but it could really use more negative space to help frame the peaches better. Nice lighting, however and lovely background choice. |

| A teeny sharper focus would've put this to another level. As is, I do like the composition, tones & your choice of subject matter and background. Good luck! |

| Front peach is a tad bit out of focus, just a bit more DOF would have helped. I like the soft lighting. |
