Hello,

Have you looked at the histogram?

This tells you a lot!

Way too dark for this photo!

One major problem is exposure.  It's too dark.  And that leads to other problems such as noise and lost details.  And your fruit bowl has focus problems in the foreground.

 

Before you submit, always examine at 100-300% magnification.  Open your Histogram panel in Photoshop or Lightroom. You can see immediately that this image is starving for highlights.  This won't print well. 

 

Although I like the composition and mood, unfortunately the execution didn't quite work this time.  Keep working at it. 

 

Good luck.

It's quite underexposed, and lifting the exposure reveals chroma noise; the depth of field also appears to be quite shallow, causing most of the image to be out of focus.
