Pretty nice. Well, I suppose what I would suggest is to consider the integrity of the shapes and how they represent the objects you're doing.
Example, the elliptical shape of the platter pinches to the left and right, whereas they would be more rounded, which is more natural. This comment also extends to the apple shapes. What it looks like you're doing is working the center of your items and ignoring the edges -- as if your attention trails off.
As such, you might want to draw outlines for your objects and take that opportunity to compose your painting, but more so in order to pay attention to the shapes. With an outline drawing you can quickly assess whether the shapes are right or not. And then use that drawing on a separate layer to toggle on and off to occasionally check whether the shapes in your painting are still correct. The beauty of digital and using layers is that you can do this and then remove the line drawing.
Good to see you're still painting. Overall the broad details show you're observing lots of things, like reflected light and keeping the planes going the right way. So for that this looks pretty good. Now it's just roping in the other mechanical details.
