What better to conveigh the feeling dryness than the texture of dry toast. I felt that Black & White accentuated the dry feeling so I chose to use the B&W feature of the Fiji S2 in camera. The subject was dispatched with some glee after the shoot although with butter & strawberry jam

I think would have been better if you have focused the top one. The light a little too strong. Nice texture and ... I really need some water... It looks too dry
The texture is here. The subject and composition lack interest to me. I don't like the lighting with the strong shadows and whiteness in the bottom right.
Strange crop, just between a close crop and a wide one, not for my taste at least. Maybe it would be better to focus on the top of the toast to get the texture "out of it". Good DOF.
I think the lighting and crop are hurting your shot. The focus is okay but either more light or closer to the toast. The table on the lower right is a distraction. This is a good entry and I hope you do well.
Very very dry. With such an ordinary subject, so very mundane, I think the lighting needs to be extraordinary to give some punch: your light here is perfectly competent, the raking angle of it really shows the surface of the toast (and that puts you in the higher marks so far alone). Somehow you haven't really photographed that surface though - the concentration of the image isn't there enough. Sorry this is impressionistic, but then some criticism is.
