I think the saltshaker is a little blown out. Good detail on the peper though.

this would have bene much better if the salt wasn't blown out... maybe underexpose a bit. Also, hot spots are distracting on salt and pepper... maybe hold menu at such an angle above subject that there would not be hotspots?

So you salt and pepper your coffee?

The salt is overexposed; placing it behind the pepper would have helped. I'm intrigued by the reflections in the silver caps on these containers; a shot from above of this reflection might have been quite interesting.

For me, this photo is a bit bright. (Too much flash?) I do like the angle though

cool idea, with the pepper echoing the pattern on the countertop. i would be interested in seeing this image with just a bit more space on top, and with softer lighting/richer contrast.

Nice picture. A bit too much light. The glare really washes the grains of salt out.

Blew the white. Toned down just a bit, it wouldn't be so glaring.
