Greetings from the Critique Club

Artistic content here is good. Your idea has a lot of potential. Your biggest problem here is the background. So the real question is...Is it lighting issues or is it white balance. I actually think its a little of both, finding the right white balance will get rid of the blue and a little more light will help too.

Also on the subject of lighting watch out for the shadows they can really hurt you around here. try several light sources.

Final issue I see is your cropping...you needed to get rid of that upper left corner. That is such an easy fix so watch out for that.

Comment by Rainybeet:
This was a cute idea, but it should have been more evenly lit and cropped. The sliver of background in the upper left hand corner is a fatal flaw.

Comment by chele:
really should have cropped out the upper left hand, where the background edge is exposed.

Comment by stphq:
bit dark and could have done with being cropped as the edge of the background is showing top corner...

Need a little better crop at the top - to get rid of the dark area in the upper left.

Comment by Elaine:
There is a blue tint on the image making the background blue. Desat of blue might have helped. I also think the background should cover the entire frame and the edge is showing in the upper left corner.

Comment by kari1:
This does not meet the challenge. Take a photo in which the background is white and the subject is predominately a "light" color.

Comment by olddj:
very creative, but "white" background is way too blue, upper left corner is bad, better cropping may help this, but need to bleach out the blue in your white!! Also wish you had found something "light"er to use than those beans, but that is minor point!
