Greetings from the CC!

WOW! 2 weeks in a row that I get to critique some of my fav shots!!! :o)

LIGHTING: A beautiful high key shot without having the "blown out" effect that hurts the eyes. Not always easy to get.

FOCUS: Spot on....

COMPOSITION: The white on white is very pure and clean and works well here. The curves in the bowls makes all the difference in the pic. Your vertical cropping is good but the negative space above the bowls is distracting. I don't seems to find its purpose there. Maybe to show length?? As for the line in your BG.... didn't notice it so you did a good job. :o)

You're lucky to have 10 identical bowls!!! My dishes are all mismatched!! :oP

Great job once again!! Keep on inspiring!

Amazing foto! It almost has a lithographic feel to it. I like how the lone onion appear to be in the same plane as the other three, and yet this illusion is conveniently broken by the bottle's shadow.

Thanks all for the wonderful comments, everyone. I was quite happy with the end result :) To those that suggested colored bowls and colorful backgrounds ... yes ... that would make a good photo, too, but it would totally be different from what I had in mind for this one ...

At first glance, to me it looked like a retractable lamp. This is an excellent use of white chiaroscurro to make the bowls' outlines suggest an entirely different "organism" . Would have given it a 9 if I had the chance to vote.

I adore highkey! Creative composition, perfectly light and exposed!! I like the curves and use of negative space.

Good white on white. The simplist things can make the best photos. Maybe a bit to much space above the bowls i would have halved it. 9
