Good composition, but I'd like to see all 3 bowls in focus.

excellent studio macro - the light is really well controlled, the spices seem to be so rich in tones adding to the metaphor of food in a direct way

I think having enough DOF for all 3 subjects would make this more effective. Like the spice colors although having 2 of them so similar kind of defeats the "3" effect.
