Absolutely not! The vignette and their lurking low in the frame is what gives this its impact.

Nice shot - I think it would have popped more if you had cropped out the empty space at the top.

HI from the Critique Club

You asked for your shot in this challenge to have a comment from one of the members in the Critique Club.

I like your shot, it does have a slight feel of an Italian kitchen.

As has been stated, your lighting is backwards, your candles aren't really dong anything for the picture as they are blown out at the wick. I don't actually see any cheese in this picture, I think what J is talking about is the line behind the canister (it sort of looks like the edge of the table to me)? If it is cheese, it should be brought out to the front and replace the plastic bag.

In post processing, using the exposure and brightness and contrast could have brought more light to the forefront. A little dodging and burning also could have made your items brighter.

A very good try

The candle on the right is kind of distracting but nice setup.

ok, not to pick this apart...but, personally I don't like the candles and your cheese (in the background) should be turned...your background is lighter than your foreground, making your shot a bit dark...
