great job, really good improvement.... just gonna throw my two cents worth in, just a couple things I would suggest is maybe try to avoid tools like the selection tool and just paint, some of the edges look way to sharp and I think you would learn more and get a better look and feel just painting and thats the whole point to still life painting.... photoshop tools and tricks can come later
also think of reflected/bounced light? your red/green fruit and pottery should have a tinge of the yellow coloured cloth bouncing around on them....
and just my last point is to set up your own still life so you can observe your setup properly, atm your just painting from a photo of a still life, which has been flattened by the camera....
try this.... look at something in your room, your phone for instance, now close one eye still staring at it, and now open and close the other eye, now do that a few times... your actually seeing the same thing in 2 different points of veiw, your eyes are wrapping around your phone in 3d.... and that is what and drawing/painting in life is so important and why all the pros tell us to do it, plus the colours a true to what your seeing
hope Im not being to harsh, Im not trying too, Im just trying to help....
anyway all the best heres a little tutorial that helped me a few yrs ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPz8Xyt3z-w
