Hi...... took me a moment to figure out what this was; a citrus fruit or a nut? The giveaway was the spot of green on the top of the peel. If I could make one suggestion; would you consider making the illustration either more simple and graphic, or more realistic and detailed. Right now it is kind of in the middle. Nice job with the color overlay and the texture. (Oh wait...I just looked up Satsuma, and it is a mandarin orange!)
Often I suggest more muted colours, but in this case it seems, for an orange, the colour isn't rich and orange enough. Seems too brown. The background, which is quite saturated could have something to do with this. Perhaps a bit of shadow on the background would bring foreground and background into the same 'world.' Or, as Larry says, keep them both abstract. Also, don't oranges have some white lines in them. Just ate my last easy peeler yesterday... have to check...
