It would be nice if you'd post your exif infos about this shot. Did you use a tripod, what was the iso, aperture, shutter speed?

The composition bothers me quite a bit. The counter line divides the shot and is quite distracting. I think there are too many elements and the eyes don't know where to settle. Still life needs composition that will bring your eyes at one element where they can rest. Here, it's just a case of piling up fruits in a jar. The shadows are too deep. And the bananas are not nice, too many dark spots on the one in front.

Cheers guys will try a redo with less clutter. Not real my style and still learning the basicss. Now you point out the composition errors I can see your point now. Could maybe do with a plain white background.
