i think they could be a little brighter :O like... to the brink of being blown out. especially the oranges... it'll really bring out the orange and give the photo some contrast

I'll agree with Patrick. The colours look tired and don't stand out too much.

I recently went over some of my older photos and changed the colour satuation and was rather happy with the changes.

So.. something like this?

nice shots, however the shadow on the apple in the first one is a bit off, maybe moving it so the box doesn't cast a shadow would be a good idea.

And then you lose details/definition if you go too far the other way...
Balancing act.
