That's how my name is written... yeah, i know, if you look at the picture, you don't seem to see something special, but everytime i look at it, so many thoughts are coming to mind... not because of the letters... it's the occasion happend this day... it could make me sad and happy, make me think and laugh...

I like the basic idea here, but it lacks a little finesse, in my humble opinion.
The lighting glare at the bottom right is very distracting; the patterned table top distracts from the subject; and the subject/name is a touch too central.
My suggestion would be to reshoot -- use a cloth with a single colour and only a subtle weave as your background -- or something very that completely contrasts in texture -- like a shoot of ice, or opaque plastic. Then set up the lighting so that there is no reflection on the BG, focus on the letters so that the grains of salt of really sharp -- a really nice idea -- but have a little fun with it.

One final suggestion: take the time to visit the photos of others and write critiques of THEIR work (at least 10 critiques every time you post an image) and you will find lots of helpful suggestions from others whose attention you have captured that way

Bonsoir Paul
Composition originale avec un concept de bon gout,
Fond intéressant à l'arrière qui donne de la profondeur au sujet principal.
Bravo,beau travail
