Critiques Welcome

Pumpkin and Grapes
SOLD 
All artists love the positive feedback on their work, but I also love good criticism, if delivered kindly.  I've been meeting occasionally with few members of a local art club for "Critique Night" but have not been able to make it for a while.   I'm hoping to create a "Cyber Critique" from anyone who might read my blog.

I've been working on a lot of still lifes (still lives?) lately and have two that I consider almost done but something is missing.  I've been looking at them for a while and I think I know what they need, but I'd love some feedback from my artist friends (and strangers).

Please feel free to add comments on either of these two paintings.  (I know I forgot the stem on the pear)

Perhaps the area behind the pear reflected Inside the
mirror could be a different color than the wall behind the mirror.

Brad, Thanks. I may try to lighten inside the mirror and perhaps add a color glaze to shift it to be a bit cooler. The wall in the mirror is further away than the wall behind the mirror, so it should be cooler.
