I was helping my brother move some stuff to his summer home. I notice his new dinning room table and this colorful bowl of fruit. I was also testing my new Canon D60.

This seems way too busy and cluttered for my personal taste. I'd like to see this with about 1/2 the stuff. Maybe just use some of the grapes, the orange fruits, and a few leaves from the raspberry plants.
The focus doesn't really seem to be consistant. The leaves seem ok, but the fruit itself seems a bit soft. Could be a result of lighting issues.
This does appear to be just flash. Not usually the lighting of choice. You could have taken this outside maybe. Or into a well lit area and seen the difference. It would create some depth, and probably reduce a lot of the selective glare on various fruits.
The angle and framing/cropping is ok. Had there been less elements in the photo, it would have worked better, however, I do like how you fill the entire frame of the photo with the subject. Still possible even with fewer elements.
The colors are ok. a few colors you don't really need in there, which does distract a bit from the colors you are trying to highlight. Fewer elements would help this also.

Very nice composition and the colors and focus are really sharp. I do find the lighting a bit too harsh, however and don't like the reflections that you can see in the fruit.
the way this is lit (on board flash it seems) make the whole thing look flat. Perhaps more selective lighting would have brought out the contours of the fruit more.
