The third photo, I think, is the best because the subject matter is the least obvious, but I think the texture of the unwashed grapes and the plant leaves work well with the short depth of field - the textures are clearly in focus, but since the rest of the photo is out of focus, the textures don't overwhelm the photographs. The same can be said for the rich colour of the grapes, but I'm not sure whether I should have used different lighting or colour balance to make the green of the stems appear more vibrant. Similarly, in the shot of the pot plant, I perhaps needed to leave more pot in the shot so that the smooth glazed texture of the pot and the matte of the plant could have been more in balance.
As mentioned above, the third shot is the most interesting because of the subject matter - instead of a traditional still life, the photograph of the shoes hints at a story - the high-heeled impractical shoes and the bottles suggest a party has occurred, or is occurring, especially as the bottles are empty and one shoe has been abandoned. The lighting, however, is perhaps not the best - I like the spots of light on the bottles in the background and the spot of light on the shoe in the foreground, but I think the glare on the oven unbalances the composition of the shot, and the bits of dirt on the floor too clearly picked out.
