Yes, it's beautiful classic fruit still life. Very well composed and the light is good. The colour and texture of the fruits are well render too.
Well done.

A suggestion though, if you want to go further into still life of this kind, you should check at the paintings of the "Flemish master" and learn about the symbolism of their still life composition. This might help you to be a bit more creative in composing your own still life (you allready have the technique obviously).

It´s a classic fruit still life and was subject for painter centuries before the invention of photography.
I loved the colors againt the dark background, but I see two problems in this photo:

1 - The light is very harsh, almost overexposing the light fruit in the center of the composition. Maybe the use of a softbox would be good.

2 - The upper banana in the right side of the image is a little out of focus ... DOF problem ??? But easily solved with an unsharp mask.

Hummm ... that grapes looks juicy ... cofee break time, people.

Beautiful colours and very good close up, the background is very dark which makes it unreal but still I want to eat them all.
Nice work.

Very nice shot. Good pov and nice colours. It almost looks like a painting. Well done.
