The clothespin holding the leaf made me smile. Very appealing composition, though the brightest part of the towel caught my eye first (as bright, bright stuff tends to do when someone views an image for the first time).
Not a fan of still life, but this one is quite pleasing. Could double for a published ad shot.

Jack, thank you very much, the world is turning with different garnishes for drinks. The first time I saw that was in Florence. I was going crazy….

There are a couple of things I really like about your photo. One, that it doesn't look "posed" though I know it is. I also like that your "lines" are on an angle and that there are several triangles in the photo: the (loose) triangle formed by the glass, bowl and bottle. Then there is the triangle of fruit in the bowl and the triangle in the shape of the napkin behind the glass all of which work in conjunction with the triangle shape of the top of the glass. You have an odd number of objects and an odd number of fruit in the bowl. All very pleasing compositionally!
One slight change that could be made would be to move the glass a tiny bit to give a little more separation from the bottle.
The one thing that does bother me is the napkin edge leading out of the frame. You have a nice space from the edge of the frame to the bottle. The napkin leads the eye out of the frame rather than into it. It also changes the balance making the left side heavier. You have almost equal spacing along the side of the bottle, across the top and along the bottom. If you do the same on the left side you would have a natural frame.
Another option would be to add items to the right side taking part of it/them out of the frame to balance the sides leaving the top and bottom spaces as a partial frame.
These are JUST MY OPINIONS and everyone sees things differently so please take them as just another way of seeing the scene!!
I do think you still life's have improved as you've gone along.

Nice picture but you ruined some decent vodka.
