Cinnamon Sticks

[coachgrl22]

While I was cleaning the kitchen today I saw the cinnamon sticks in the spice draw and thought it looked like a heart. I was really curious about the composition and also whether the cinnamon on the bottom of the photo (which is blurred) looked good or should I try again and have that if focus also

All in all, it is a lovely photo! Placement of the main subject is good, the underexposure in the background really brings out the main subject, and the color is nice.

The only critique I have is that I'd like there to be a little more focus on the very front rim of the cinnamon stick that is directly facing the camera. Other than that, very pretty shot the soft dark colors are very calming to look at, and I can almost smell the cinnamon.
