This looks great! However if you don't mind, what could make your colors look more vibrant is if you were to use more complimentary colors in the shadows of the stronger colors.
For instance, the apple is red right? So if you choose something cooler like green- or even better blue- in the shadows then the apple's shadow wont look grey there. This is even more so accurate to life because with that cool grey background(it's like this crayola color crayon) the tiny bit of blue tinged light bouncing in the shadows of the apple will make the apple change a bit in color due to the reflection in the background hitting it underneath. This blue tinge will mix in with the red at lighter points and a rather desaturated purple will be the resulting shade and will hopefully look much more lively.
If that makes sense? I've never officially done a still life study but the bit of learning how light works and bounces has definitely helped me. I think if you were to look more into it with a bit of color theory then your work could actually have a boom in improvement. Keep up the good work!
