Good color selection Bonny! I think you could saturate the colors even more. Judging from the direction of the cast shadow your light source is coming from the left. That being said I would expect the brightest highlight to be on the left side of the tomato instead of the right. The right side could also use more shadow toning to emphasize the tomato’s form. With the cast shadow, you want the darkest part to be at the subjects edge as you have done, but it could be a little thinner and then transition lighter as it moves away from the tomato. Right now you have the dark tone and the rest of the cast shadow is one mid-tone rather than it fading as I described above. An easy fix! Remember that the cast shadow is meant to be a suggestion to ground the subject to the page. If it is too dark it competes with the main subject.
