Excellent... a wall decor!!
The pattern of the window curtain's shade in the background makes this a beautiful image...

There's a lot to like about this image, particularly the pure intense colour of the yellow daisy and the red fruit. And I also like the background curtain pattern. But I don't think the composition and lighting quite works. The background is very dark which is fine but the shadow over the pink flower tends to draw it into the background despite the fact that the left side petals are bright. Also the pink flower is sitting right down with no stem which again reinforces the sense of it being part of the background. I said at the beginning that I like the background curtain pattern but overall I think there is too much of it as it places the flowers pretty much central which for me is not well balanced. I would suggest a crop of about half of the curtain shadow from the top and a crop of the left up to the first bright fruit at the top of the bunch. This won't fix my concern about the shadow over the pink flower but it will, I believe, produce a better balanced composition. Hope this helps.

The colours are beautiful. How about having a few "stray fruit" scattered a little bit to the right of the frame to break up the structure a little. Just a thought though.

While the colours are beautiful and the wash of light on the flowers and fruit is effective, the image as a whole is not working as well as it could.

1. There is far too much background. Consider a hard crop of the top of the image;

2. The balance of the image is strange. The flowers point to the right and top and the berries to the left and bottom. That one lone berry on the left attracts far too much attention.

3. The shadow from the yellow flower falling on the purple flower is distracting.

I assume that this is a natural light shot. If you watch how natural light photographers work, they set up small reflectors (small mirrors and white cards) to push the light into areas where it is needed.
