I like this one a lot. The color palate is a little dull, but that's just my opinion. The image itself is great. Like the focal point, blurred foreground. Nice job.
I like your idea, and would enjoy seeing more of the "kitchen" objects with edible things...its unique and creative. I think if the noodle containers wouldn't show, that wouldn't be so distracting. Also either show the whole jar of the peppercorns or turn it so the opening of the jar shows the peppers falling out more..Maybe add a tad bit of colour somehow. But I sure do like this..verena
I'd agree with making this all about the pepper corns. Lose the other jar, and whatever else in the background. Next, either tighten (higher number) your aperture (f-stop)to increase your depth of field, or crop out the blurred corns in the foreground.
Lastly, since there really isn't much color here anyway, try a conversion to B/W, deepen the contrast, and... you've got a winner in my book.
Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
