This is always away my bread looks when I make it. I think the shot would work well with the right background. The clutter in the back of this one draws my eye away from the subject.
This is poorly organized. I'm not exactly sure what I should be looking at. Think about what you want to show about your subject before you shoot and shoot for that goal.
Sorry, but this looks like there was very little thought in the arrangement. A very busy backdrop; colors seem to be dull, not vibrant; overall the picture looks very flat.
