Thanks a lot, Jim, for taking the time to comment. This is very helpful in order to improve. Of course, you are absolutely right, I noticed when I looked at the print in daylight. I may be able to make a better print and burn the fruit a little. I also made a shot with a higher resolution lens which might have better separation of the tonal values.
I have to think about how to improve the lighting. I used a 25x25'' softbox and a reflector on the other side. Perhaps this is too small and I have to move it too close to the setup. I will think about how I can build a larger light source in the very limited space I have available. I'm sure 6x6' in 6' distance would work a lot better.
By the way, I like what you're doing and I think your lighting is very natural and nice.
