The picture is of the main ingredients just before I put them in the bowl. I added the lemon for a decorative effect. The lemon was used after the shot to create the lemon juice!

I like the colors and the composition a lot here, but I think this could use some improvement on the lighting, the Tomatoes look kind of orange and the cheese and the white part of the lemon are too bright. I can't really tell exactly how this was lit, but I think if you had broadly diffused the main source and used a bit of direct light to bring out the highlights it might help.
Good Points:nice idea with the different colors, like the way you have centred teh lemon.
Bad Points:way to brightly lit. A lot of detail has been lost as a result of that and the lemons are blown out.
Overall Score:4
I love color and this has oodles! Great setup, the color play is perfect. Lighting looks a bit over-bright, particularly in the cheese and lemon rinds. The tomatoes have just a bit too much glare as well. But as a whole this ia marvelous shot. 7
The range and varying colors here are good, it looks fresh, and fairly sharp. The main problem I see are the overblown whites, mainly on the rind of the lemon slices and the cheese(?) in the top right. They seem to dominant the image.
