Regarding the alleged "noise" -- the purple cloth is actually a piece of hand-woven fabric with the warp a darker color than the hand-spun weft. The result is a piece of fabric which has a lot of texture which many people mistook for noise. I won't make that mistake again.
Thanks to all of you who gave me comments and voted on this picture.

OK, I've decided this is my favorite! It looks like there is some color noise in the background and a spot of light haloing on the right but the overall image is just great.
A nice choice of objects colour-wise. A few problems: (1) compositionally, negative space on the right is not working to the advantage, there is a feeling of disbalance in the composition, (2) lighting is a bit too harsh, destroying the textures on the garlic and the eggplant, and (3) your room is reflected in the jar, need to be careful about that. 6
So rare to see an actual still life in a challenge. Interesting composition. Lighting could use a bit of work, and you might have made something in there that is purple a bit more prominent. Good luck.
