I think this shot had awesome potential. The colors are great. Lighting, focus everything technical is good. Nice composition. But, IMO seeing a dirty plate after dinner, especially the ketchup smudges, it looks very unappealing. If you had shown the pre-dinner shot with the tators on the plate ready to be eaten, you may have had a top contender.
I like the arrangement of the knife and fork, it looks very much like someone just finished eating. However, the dirtyness of the plate is very unappealing. Also, the salt and pepper shakers, being taller that the rest of the scene, are out of focus, and a bit distracting. Also their placement is ackward in the frame.
