Seems to have a yellowish cast. Maybe using a grey card in a test shot would allow correction of white balance in post processing. Might benefit from more careful placement of the various elements of the still life.
I can see where you were going with this, but you just didn't get there. A still life is a good idea, but random lettuce and such tossed onto a bumpy piece of red felt with harsh lighting isn't very appealing.
Direct on camera flash. That's the first thing I notice when I see those shadows. If you're going to take the time setting up a nice shot like this, google DIY diffusers for your camera, a 25cent piece of something can do wonders.
Try experimenting with different lighting methods. I would recommend both frontal lighting (as you have done here) and bounced top lighting to reduce the shadows.
i like your choice in background, but it takes away from the red apple. the pineapple also takes most of my attention rather then the apple. flash seems harsh as well
