Hi Daniel- this is very nice! Strong bright colors and the placement of the highlight is great. You have a range of tones, but you could go even darker on the right side and bottom (transitioning lighter as you move toward the highlight) to emphasize the fruits form. With the cast shadow, it should be the darkest at the edge of the subject and fade lighter as it moves away from the subject. Overall you don’t want it to be too dark. The goal is not to have it compete with your subject and to ground the subject on the page. Nice job!
