This shot seems like a family snapshot. A softbox/diffuser on the strobe would have been helpful in evening out the light and reducing the shadows. The framing seems uncomfortably tight. Opening up the frame to the right and allowing the top of the book to be seen would likely help.
I'm sure that the separaion in this shot has somthing to do with penut butter and jelly. I Think however that im missing it. I also feel that better lighting would realy have helped this shot. You hace a glare on the side of the models head, and the denim, shirt, bottle and table all seem to have no contrast. They all seem to meld together. The lighing makes this overall good shot feel like just another snap shot.
Apologies to the person who took this shot has a number of opportunities for improvement. The big space around the subject is really uninteresting. The condiments are distracting. And if you have to use a flash inside to get the shot, you probably should light the space differently. (The flash is an evil conspiracy by the Uglification Society to ruin the photos of everybody who is not schooled to use them only under seemingly irrellevant condions.) You chose a subject who could be quite photogenic.
