    The composition doesn't really thrill me and I think there may be too much blank space in the frame. Perhaps a more textured background.....

    How about a peanut butter background?!?
    No, I DON'T need that.

    You could try it-can't hurt. But that won't change the dense background and the relationship of the nuts to each other.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Lighting is a little flat.
    Try lighting it from the rear.

    I actually like it better than I thought I would but the lighting is indeed a little flat.

    Not a bad project though.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    What lens are you using?
