Too many irrelevantt things, no focus, nothing i terrsting. Its just a kitchen counter full of stuff. Tell a story, add some interest, form a nore puposeful composition maybe.

I see some familiar things! The IKEA steel organizing container, the iPhone, the Keurig coffee maker, the wooden spoon and rubber scrapers. Overall the items do not seem to separate themselves overly much; maybe the focal length of the lens was a bit too long, and flattened the scene a bit more than would be considered optimal. I like the idea of photos ofbthe everyday, of the mundane ( and will take them mydelf too) but this might have benefitted from a few different, slight adjustments. A different lighting pattern, from a different time if day could make this much more compelling I think. These can be tricky. They are also historical and era-specific, which is kind of cool.

I think you are right about the focal length of the lens and lack of separation. I would not have figured that out - thank you!

You gave me an idea. My wife will be quite upset with me, but it will be worth it.

For some reason beyond my ken, I only got to read the first part of your comnents before. Thanks for the very thoughtful reply. I agree about the historical interest these sorts of photos can have, but I think in this case I was just caught up in the colors.

Really? A pic of a food processor inundated by clutter? Really?

It may be because of the season, but I immediately thought of an old New Yorker cartoon in which Dickens' editor is saying to him, "Surely Mr Dickens, it could not have been both the best of times and the worst of times!" A list of things not to photograph might make a funny theme for this forum.
