without really knowing what you want critiqued. I'll take a shot at it.
The tomatoe in the front is distracting, only beasue it's missing the green stem. I'm not sold on the space where it used to be. and also the empty space on the top right hand corner
The bright white shiny spots are also somewhat of a problem for me.
I realy like the concept and for the most part its very well presented.
What I said was just my humble opinion.

My humble opinion...

I like the fact that the front tomato is stemless, breaks the monotony and uniformity.

I like the sun splashing across them, but I might have like a uv filter or a polarizing one to cut it down slightly.

The angle is good and the open spaces make the picture interesting and real.

I might have liked a little more DOF, just to give it a little more character, just a little more. Did you shoot it at f16?
