Jean, thank you for your pointers. I immediatly worked on the lost and found and hopefully it will look better.

Currently, I am fussing with the onions in the background and I am very dissatisfied with the pomegranates. Creating challenging compositions is great fun but they also drive me crazy at times, since I lack the skill to get it done asap.

My question to the forum members is: "How do you make the background read as what it is, without it taking over and demanding the attention of the viewer?"

(The fruit in the background is there to replicate the color scheme of the mustard/orange hues of cloth in the original photo.)
