Good touchup. It works in a lot of ways, I think. I like the colors and the shapes of the fruit. I like the fact that you used a shallow DOF also.
Now, for how it could be better. I'm a bit distracted by two things: the bottom left edge of the plate, which seems somewhat like a mistake, and the upper left bright area. Neither are fatal or anything but I think they distract.
One thing I wonder about the pic; shallow DOF should be used to pull a viewer's attention to a particular area. I ask myself, why am I pulled to this particular area ... The orange is pretty but the lemon steals the attention, and it's not quite perfect on the skin or what not.
Anyway - welcome to the forums too!
