 The #1 selling brand in America.

As an aside, the very first agronomy course I took at Iowa State University in the early 1970s, many decades ago, taught the genetics and techniques of raising popcorn. Something, I will never forget. It's a science and an art to grow a seed with a "sealed" kernel containing moisture and oil..... allowing it to pop when heated.

Nice solid shot. No huge WOW factor, but I don't think that is what you were going for. Good lighting, good use of challenge, and good composition. I would say think about turning the bag a little to give it more detail you can bring out but a nice solid shot.

The tight crop helps convey the addiction (i.e. having too much) aspect. The lighting could be better as well as the surface/background choice. A darker background would have help make the popcorn stand out more.

the popcorn seems a litte too white, and blends into the ground.
