This image is lacking contrast, depth and clarity, but this isn't a total loss. In the abyss to the left of the salt, there appears to be a nice texture there that would've been useful with the proper exposure. For this to better portray partnership, the pepper needs more visibility. With the correct exposure and sharpness, there would be interesting reflections in the caps.
Hey Sof! the pepper is a little too hidden in the background and the border does not help in this case. also, (and you may be getting comments on this) people seemed to be turned off by long titles, especially ones that try to explain the picture. choose a short title and let the photo speak for itself.
