Thanks everyone for the feedback, it's very helpful. I think while the red glow in the background adds some warmth, the backdrop would look better if it was out of focus, slightly sharper on the shakers themselves, and a little more focus on the grains of salt in the foreground.
nice setup. The spilt salt and upright pepper make a great contrast for each other. Also, the nodescript background only makes the picture better by bringing attention the the salt and pepper shakers.
I love the shakers. They are beautiful. In the photo they are just a tad out of focus. Not so much out of focus and maybe a little soft. The red behind the base of the shaker laying down distracts from the over all picture. Other wise aok.
nice composition :) My personal taste here would have been for a little more sharpness possibly... the yellow tinted lighting coming in from the rear looks a little odd witht he glass and white salt... - setzler
Oooh like a dutch painting - the background drapes are perfect so are the shakers and I like to soft focus. Colors all work together. highlights well placed. No advice to give here, it is just rigt 10
