Please don't take this the wrong way.  It's a nice "foodie foto" for posting on Instagram.  But as a Stock photo, it's missing the quality mark.  Examine your photo at 100-300% magnification.  That's when you see the technical problems.

 

The composition might have been better without the reflective foil-wrapped butter.  And I would prefer a more immersive camera angle.  That said, food photography is technically challenging work.  Look at Stock photos in your keyword category.  I think it helps to see what the competition is doing.

Keep working at it and better luck next time.

    It's very blurry and not a very good composition, with bits of objects intruding into the edges of the frame.

      Bad focus is not fixable.

      Hello @Giovanni Ph , there are several things wrong. 

      First of all it is not focused properly. The photo is too soft. It is poorly cropped. The plate is cut off at the bottom but space is available above it. Objects that are not important but part of them are showing, need to be removed. (bottom left, top left and top right corners.)
