I honestly don't find this sort of extreme high key all that appealing, particularly for a human subject. I also don't like some of the yellowish orange tones that are left, particularly below the lips. It's a brave entry, good luck!

Comment by macrothing:
6 - Very nice. Background/DOF/bokeh is very complementary. Criticism; having said that, the dark green 'line' on the left, which I presume is the lighting cord/cable, detracts, but fairly minor. Like to see that 'stem/branch/needles' enhanced, 'somehow', just a bit more, making it really 'pop' and dominate. Perhaps a slight crop adjustment too, mainly at the top/bottom, trying to not 'cut' any 'circles' too much, may have also made this better in my opinion. Good potential here and nice and simple, including the colors.

Love the bokeh and the sharpness of the needles. I think it needs something more to make it really stand out though.

nothing to really "grab" me here....if there was an ornament, bulb, anything. It's like "interesting background" but no main element.

first impression: oh cool !! the knife almost looks transparent. Great angle selection.
A few things I think could be improved are; first the sharp reflected light from knife on the paper just on the right. If you used a more diffused light, this can be avoided and will help the knife look more transparent.
the background seems to have some red, a whiter background could add more ot the image.. a white paper used as background may provide you better results.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me
