I never thought that a shot of a spoon would make me say "wow!" But seriously, Wow! This is excellent! The lighting is excellent here, the graduated effect towards the top contrasts nicely with the bright part of the spoon. The focus is razor sharp too. Really nice job!

Metal is VERY hard to shoot well in a studio product situation like this. You pulled it off quite well. I'm guessing you used a brand new spoon? The edge lighting around the entire rim is quite well done. the spoon itself shows no visible blemishes (very hard to do with used utensils). Focus is a touch soft near the tip for me, I would have rather seen the handle be OOF more to correct this. The tone is also quite good. You cover a lot of zones in this shot.

I gave you an 8! This is great!, it is dark but you can still see the texture in the skin! Amazing.

u asked in the forums for honest comment, well here goes. just my opinion as a newbie to photography so pls dont strangle me.

what i like:
the smart use of empty space
good choice to make it B&W
good idea of someone locked out from the outside

what i dislike:
model (not that he is bad looking, but i find "acted" (setup?) shots by actors potraying a false emotion... well, emotionless. the model looks like he was peeping thru a hole rather than being locked up in solitary, which i assume is your intention with this photo.

hope you're not offended. its just my newbie opinion, like i said.
