Comment by Dave Gordon:
I think the candles tend to dominate the picture too much, leaving the food without detail and hard to see.

Comment by tfaust:
The glare from the glasses is distracting... you might try bouncing the light next time - it looks like it might be pointing right at the glasses from the side or above? Since you have a glass lying down in the background, it might have helped to shoot this at a bit higher of an angle. There is a bit of grain as well, that might have been from adjusting the color balances too much? Over all nice idea, but I think if you play with the lighting a bit, you might find better results. Since it appears to be breakfast food, how about trying this in some natural light...

I could see exactly what is on and around the plate, in the glass... the candle are too bright, it distracts.

nice composition, and pretty colors. Focus is good, but could have been better on the plate. There is a crease in the material that is tilted, it is throwing off the balance of the photo, and the lighting may have looked better if the candles lit most of the shot, rather than an overhead light - nice shot

Most of the stuff that has scents seems so far away! The bread(?) being on the far side of the plate makes this seem somewhat unbalanced; if the plate were plain, I might just see it as negative space, but since there's decor on it, it just feels off. I do really like the neat flare off the candles, it really draws attention there, and candles definitely have a scent of their own.

as you've probably heard the backdrop is ugly, and I also think a little more fill light to tone down the candles a little would help. Like the color, and layout.

Badly lit, badly staged, focus soft, floating candles in wine glasses too bright.
