I liked this quite well, actually. Nice, quiet, calm picture. Most of your commenters point out the need for better light on the apples themselves - I agree with that. Basic composition is there, tone (feeling) is there - just a bit needed in the light department maybe. Still, I gave it a 6 and like the muted, soft overall color.

The basket is exposed well, but the apples are lacking, there color seems washed out and flat.

i think the background is a little dark for the subject, so it dulls the colours of the apples.

Great detail on the basket. I think a little more light on the apples would help to bring out the detail there.

Nicely composed and good natural color. I think the lighting is the element that is missing for this image; particularly on the basket. It is a bit bright and hot on the wicker and doesn't separate the apples from the background very much. The background on the upper left corner is a bit wrinkly/crinkly or something and that is a distraction. I think you have a great start with this one; just play with the lighting arrangement and see what you can come up with. :)

The basket seems to overwhelm the apples due to the lighting. I would have focused more of the light on the apples.

I really like the idea here, I'd like to see more light and color. Needs something.
