Great scene with the ships. I think the carrots may have been aboard the ship for the long voyage across the Pacific and they've lost their freshness a bit.
The forms are good as describing the items. The color is going toward the browns which doesn't feel terribly appetizing and it doesn't pull the viewer in particularly. And yet you also paint with great saturation in other settings. So it looks like it was a choice.
I think that if you are going to paint something where the color is not particularly the issue, where you are painting shapes and textures, that you may want to make it interesting by doing something cool with the lighting --- emphatically spotlighting a portion, so that you are breaking up the space in an interesting way. Gradients of lighting are nice, and shadows can make for interesting contours, not to mention the design of the canvas space. Also it implies that there is a world outside the canvas that the subject is part of. It's not so claustrophobic -- if you want to express that mood to the viewer. I can see that you have some attention to the lighting, but it could be pushed harder.
When we get into a painting, we sometimes lose the fresh eye because we're dealing with little problems of the painting and thus lose the painting from the narrow focus. So it's good to step away for a fresh look sometimes.
