nice lighting although the reflection being two colors distracts me making me want to figure out what the light source is.

nice lighting. Great composition. Very well executed. A bit static. And somewhat uninspiring to me. But very well done. I love the curves. 7

Comment by hokie:
I was not sure what the "noise" comment was about.

The serrations on the knife have multiple reflections/highlights coming off that might give the impression of noise. the knife was not new...It has lots of use and imperfections which I liked in macro mode becasue it gave it that "I just picked this knife up off the counter after making a ham sandwich to kick your a$$ you stupid beer drinking, WWE watching, homophobic, hard hat wearing pig!"...whew..I think I have issues >:-D

What does the commenter mean by noise on the left side of the knife. I've been taking pictures for over 40 years, am still an amaeture and don't know what they mean by noise, even though my camera has noise reduction....PTL

I'm finally going through and commenting on my favourite photos from this week (I didn't have time before). This was one of my 10s :). It's just brilliant, the kind of photo that I would describe as having a narrative feel. I can create a story to explain the elements of the knife and the woman's face. A photo that does that is very powerful.
