Shots like this are best done outside under natural light or well controled studio lighting. It looks like your white balance wasn't set properly for your indoor lighting.
The focus is good, but I can't say it's a terribly interesting subject. You probably would have been better off pulling back and getting something else in the shot too; bowl, spoon, etc.
Our instinct is to zoom in and focus on our subject rather than let the subject speak for itself. I'm a huge macro fan, so I'm struggling the same battle. If the scene is set up properly your subject will pop out on its own.
This is one of my favorite learning shots on the site. One day I'll get it right!
