On Stand-By

First of all, congratulations on your ribbon with this image :)
This is an excellent image, both technically and artistically. I am not sure that I can give you much useful information or advise, as it looks like you know quite well what you are doing here. So I'm going to try to approach this from a bit different point of view.
I remember when I first saw this in the challenge (during voting - I actually remember it). I thought, now here's one of the top 10 at least. Then I started thinking, wait a minute, something's off with the image, the right spoon (the spoon with the slot) looks bigger than the other, they should look the same! It still does, I'm not sure if that's an illusion or if it actually is bigger in the image. Anymore that illusion/reality sort of grew on me, I like it. I also really like it that the tops of the spoons are not the same.
This really is a well thought out and executed image. The only thing that I can think of to offer as a possible improvement (and that's very iffy) is that I wish the lettuce went across the whole of the bottom part - it sort of seems to peter out at the ends, especially the left side.
Congratulations again, and keep up the good work.
