Default Fresh Apples

I am new to this type of composition.. Most of my stuff is low light abandonment which can be a struggle for Olympus users. Looking for feedback..



Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 45 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: On, Did not fire

Thanks to everyone for having a look

The image needs contrast and sharpness. I'd also be inclined to make the colors deeper/richer.
I think a closer crop is also needed to get rid of some of that bright sky. The white is distracting, steals the show from the apples

I took the liberty of editing it for you. I hope you don't mind?

Cropped
Sharpened
Bumped saturation
Bumped contrast
Slightly blurred background after sharpening.
