Greetings from the Critique Club...
I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 7.
Overall I think this is a great image. I love the backlighting and all the details that come through the fruit. I also like how the light creates a halo around the star. The darkness in the background also creates a nice mood. The crop you have chosen reminds me of a country flag because of the shape, as well as the 2 vertical lines. I'd love to see a version of this with a square crop. I think it would help keep my eyes from wandering away from the star. Great shot.
If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

This is going to seem weird, but my first impression on seeing this was movie hero tied up to columns and struggling to free himself.

It's a neat idea but it lacks personal appeal.

Most times I don't like centered objects. This time it works nicely. Everything else about your photo I find perfect: 10

I really like this, but I think I would have cropped in a square - great lighting though, a 7 from me.

Very nice backlighting, this almost looks like a fancy lamp, not a piece of fruit.

Really lovely tones. Missed the subtlety of this on first pass - bumping to 7.
