OK, really ingredients for Rubber Duck à l’Orange + twine? I had trouble thinking of a coherent idea that incorporated all of this challenge's elements. Lacking more sophisticated lighting equipment, my light sources were: back lit by window light, the compact florescent fixtures from the ceiling kitchen lights, and the camera mounted flash bounced off a side wall.
I did nothing more than basic editing largely because advanced editing is still a bit beyond me.

A couple of things I'm constantly learning the hard way here is that the focus better be sharp, and the main subject matter of the challenge description better be in a prominent position. Hang in there, your sixes will come.
Interesting idea and you got all the required elements in. I feel like the arrangement of ingredients could be better but I am hardly an expert on still life shots! Focus/DOF look off to my eye.
