More light on the subject, more on the background. Next, the focus... Is it just me, or is only the very tip of the top cookie in focus... I see you shot 1/160th at f/5.6. Try shooting f/8 or so. Get a bit more of the subject in focus. In general, the composition of the cookies is fine, but the rest of the image is a bit dull. The colors don't really pop-out, and the background is a bit dull as well. As far as composition of the entire image is concerned, I think it might be nice if you have the two cookies both in focus, and in the background you have a cup of coffee or some tea blurred, more of a "food/eating" environment, and the background is a "Hollywood Style Bokeh".  Not too much though. Just to give the feeling that you are in a restaurant or so. I also see you shot ISO 400. Not bad, but if you have a tripod, I recommend shooting at 100. I mean it is still life really, so any motion blur shouldn't be a problem. I'm curious to ask, what kind of lighting set-up do you currently use?Good luck and continue to practice. I also recommend that you view professional food/commercial photographers portfolios and get some ideas/inspiration.Best,-AC</blockquote>
