Get closer. The white around the frame doesn't help the composition. So have the spices fill the frame. Also, the lighting is a little too harsh. Try diffusing it some.
nice palette of colors and shapes/textures. To make it better (imho) I'd like all of it to be in focus and a tighter crop so I'm closer to experiencing the textures
Concept and composition is good but technically this is not a well put together image. The image needs needs an interesting focal point. Lack of a good focal point is an error I often commitmyself. You could have equipment limitations but the .jpg artifacts visible around the edges might mean you saved this as a .jpg file more than one time.
I love the different colors, textures and shapes. Neat idea.
You have a very narrow [dof] area of focus here, maybe /deeper/wider would of been a bit better for this shot.
Cookbook shot, especially that v shallow DOF - very trendy these days. Doesn't do much for me in terms of texture. Within the focal plane the sharpness seems extreme - a granular quality has come in, which loks processed to me and has reduced the subtlety of the detail there.
I find the lighting a bit strong here. Also in my opinion you whole subject should be within your depth of field which is not the case here. Good luck.
