Hello ,

As others have mentioned, the basil itself, though your "focal point" in the image, is not actually in sharp focus. The composition, with a large unfocused area in the foreground, is not pleasing. Our eyes are trained to expect near objects to be in focus, and far objects to fall out of focus. In the first image, it's difficult to determine what the message is - the cheesy food, the basil, the tomatoes or the canning jars? The food object on which the basil rests is unrecognizable, which also de

Hello,

I agree with @Jill_C and @Marianne-Deiters .

The food object on which the basil rests is unrecognizable, which also detracts from the appeal of the image. The 2nd image is under-exposed. Food photography can be fun, though time-consuming to get it right. Anthony Scrivani did an interview on Adobe Stock recently, and his images are inspiring:
