The elements in this photo look blurry. There is too much gray/white in this photo for my taste- it makes everything look dull.

Looks rather grainy, and out of focus

Better focus could have improved this.

Having both objects leaning over to the right rather upsets the impact you were obviously trying for. An interesting image otherwise.

This picture is poorly lit, out of focus, dully composed. What's the white thing -- a surrender flag? Are they stuck to some sort of table? Why? There's no dynamic tension in the picture.

Good choice of opposites. There is too much negative space, its out of focus, and there really doesn't seem to be any detail in the knife. I would like to see you rework this idea with a little more creativity. 3

My suggestion for imporvement here would be less of a staged look. This is just a boring set up and needs something else to help it connect. A hat, tank, better background, tree branch, army men...etc. Maybe the knife on the flag....? The noise is distracting from the shot. ?More light and a lower ISO for less noise. Best of luck in the challenge.

This photograph is so poorly done I can't imagine why you ever submitted it to the contest. Not only is it out of focus and grainy, but it is so uninspiring as to be brain-deadening. A knife near a white flag... The lighting is terrible, there is virtually no contrast in this photo, and the composition is so ill-conceived as to be mind-boggling. There is nothing interesting about this photograph whatsoever. Please don't waste our time posting photos like this.
