This is a gorgeous picture. The lighting is perfect for this shot. The colors are softened by the outstanding lighting. Great job!

I think this may have been helped with a bit more attention to composition. The lamp at the top-left peeking out is distracting to the eye. Also the bottom-base of the lamp. Maybe a tighter crop of if you had moved to the right. The color and subject is fantastic. Nice shootin'.

Good use of depth of field. The background also is very pleasing against the color of the apples.

Probably intentional but I think it would have been better without the washout lighting.

Definitely repetition here. I like the format and the fact that you almost paired the different beads up. I think the two areas that let you down are the frame (althugh others might say the opposite, it's very much personal taste) and the lighting. You are obviously trying for high-key and an even background ... depending on your camera, try using the EV balance, you'll be amazed just how much you have to overexpose compared to your camera's default metering, plus it'll look better because the edges of objects will be better defined. As usual, this is of course just my personal opinion :)

the lighting on this is way too harsh. it washes out the edges of the beads....
