Nice shot Lucid! The background is great. The only problem with it is that it may draw attention away from the gourds. Immediately my eyes are drawn to the flamboyant pattern of the background and not the gourds. I think the gourds are an excellent subject to photograph, but perhaps this composition doesn't accent there interesting features well. For one, their color isn't special, so I would attempt something in B&W, that would draw more attention to there shape and texture, instead of their color. Number two, I would try to look at them in a way that accents there curves and unusual shape. Something with a simple black or white background, using shadows would work very well.
Of course all this is just IMHO!
The lighting looks good, but you may want to reflect it off something, that would reduce the glare, which is especially harsh on the top one!

P.S. - Despite what I said above, I really like the idea of using the gourds, they are a very interesting subject!
