There are a gazillion things wrong with this shot, but i haven't a clue how to fix it and i'm tired of fiddling... both with the shoot and in post processing...

This is for "household object" week for the flash-o-red theme set by @olivetreeann - a month of black and white with a spot of red on the 14th...
