Sorry, Christine, but this one just isn't working for me. I feel that the three subjects are fighting for dominance, and the strong white vignette effect seems inappropriate. Might work better if, for example, the cookie jar was front-center and the other objects were OOF in the background. But then I'm rotten at still-life composition yet. I need to study more painters. So take my ramblings with a shaker of salt. :-)
