I think the problem is that your light is to bright and harsh. This is most evident in the upper right corner where you've lost all detail in the pineapple's leaves (it just looks like one really bright blob) and how the sliced peaches (esp. the top one) have a lot of glare. You can pull the highlights down a bit in post-processing and it might look a bit better but shooting again using softer, more diffused light will make a lot more of a difference. Try putting a diffuser between your light source and the scene (diffusers can be DIY'd using wax paper, tissue paper, etc) and if you were using the built-in flash on your camera don't use it or try putting a DIY diffuser on it too.
Studio-style lighting is not something I'm very good at so hopefully someone else with more expertise might chime in, but I'm poor/cheap and like to experiment so I've had moderate success (or at least not total failure) wrapping cheap desk lamps I already owned in wax paper to get light slightly more diffused than I could otherwise. This is probably a fire hazard so don't leave them running if you're not around.
One thing to look out for is the shadow from the nose. I can see from the highlight in her eyes the sun was to the bottom right of the photo. When laying down, you want their feet facing away from the sun so it casts a pleasing shadow on the nose. As a guideline, it should be at a 45 degree angle. You just want to avoid the nose shadow going up towards your subject's eye.

Also, look into getting a diffuser. The shadows won't be so harsh.
