Nice idea, could be improved with different lighting comming from another angle versus flash. (either daylight or utilize lamp with white light

Musicalnursynurse (now that's a hell of a handle ) See the red x and the pencil next to your comment? You can delete your extra comments with the red X and edit your comment with the pencil. And I do agree with you on the lighting.

Author, always try to upload a high res image whenever possible. It will improve your overall score with votes.

I'm a newbie! Any help will be appreciated!

Reminds me of me and my 4 'stock car' racing brothers,
...mmmm, cars and beer!

Alright author, here's some constructive criticism. I know your fairly new so I'll try to be nice since I seem to make bad first impression. I would suggest that next time you try to focus in on a specific item on the shelf, like the key or mugs for instance. You can do this with a standard point and shoot as well as any pro variety cameras out there. Where you focus in on one subject, it will put the rest of the subjects in the shot in a slight defocus, which will give you so much more depth of field as well as artistic appeal. It also seems you are using a flash. While it can...

...be useful at times, it's knowing when to use it for best results. Indoors? Most of the time you will fail. Always try alternative lighting. Sunlight is your best bet. It is natural light and makes for the most realistic lighting. This shot is more what I would refer to an document photography, like an insurance policy. Try to play around with those ideas I gave you and here's a good example (my own photo) of depth of field: http://www.pxleyes.com/images/contests/speakers/fullsize/It--s-For-You--4c8d94b2cccf4.jpg
