Overexposed

Yes it is!!!
I am not a fan of overexposed photography, especially when it is THIS overexposed. It does not appeal to me, either achieved through the camera, or through PP.
You have managed to retain the Shell Shop label, and a couple of the numbers. I wish I could make out the pumps etc. I think you have taken this from an angle, that with correct exposure, it could have been an interesting shot, but as it is, it doesn't work for me.

I understand that you wanted to go for the "candle light only" sort of scene, but I think that this image is just too yellow. Perhaps a bit of very subtle ambient light could have brightened it up a bit?

Very simple picture yet capture much intrigue as to what is going to happen, who the note is for, and/or if its a special occasion.

i think the lighting is a bit too harsh at the spot under the red apple. looks like its diffuse lit from underneath, so perhaps its not diffuse enough or the shutter speed is too long...

Nice idea lacks lighting and composition, IMO.

Much better then the brown. Nicely executed with good detail and lighting. 6

Wait a minute!!! You didn't use a plastic spoon!!!!!!

Just kidding. MUCH better than the original in terms of lighting and composition. I find the crop a bit awkward though. Also, the lighting is a bit harsh and blown out on the cubes, and loses definition on the interior side of the cup lip.

Nice shot. The colors feel a bit flat though.

Would have been more effective with a little more color in the sunset.
