I use this style of processing a bit myself.

Looking at this I see lots of products there but none of them stand out as the actual subject. So then I figure, all of them must be the subject. But if that were the case I'd expect, and my eyes seem to need, whatever the subject is to be in focus or at least highlighted in some way.

I'm sure, used in context, that the photo would work fine. By that I mean if it was on the cover of a cooking book with Text all over it etc then the photo would be just fine.
