Definitely a nice idea. A couple of things though. The purpose of the glass in the picture is not clear at all. Also, it has some _very_ hot spots, which draw enough attention to it to make it the subject. Also, the salt and pepper are not sharply focused on. I'd suggest reshooting with the glass removed, and focus on the salt and pepper. The colors are nice.
I like idea of the salt and pepper portion of this picture, it is a little out of focus. But I don't think the bowl adds a thing, it sort of makes me confused, what am I supposed to be looking at?
Neat idea, but I don't like the orange tone or the composition. What's the bowl for? The salt and pepper are out of focus, and there's no real shape to the layout.
The yin-yang would have worked nicely in a different context.
