greens seem oversaturated...I like the distant haze and the bleakness of the scene, nice composition

Now this, i think, might possibly have been an interesting image - but in dimensions its less than a quarter, and in data only about 3% or what's available to you here. I know it's been said over and over in comments, but it's so true it doesn't hurt to re-inforce it.

The technical stuff really is a problem. From what one can tell, it might well ahve been a fine image - a decent idea, and certainly well executed - the depth of field looks good, and the colour and tonality is great too. Compositionally, you might have benefitted a touch from using the stronger diagonal line more - the curves of the forks hint at that, but the handles go straight to the edge of frame, which is usually a weaker idea; also, had you had that line of the handles heading up into the top right of frame, more of the tines of the forks might be visible which would also strengthen the detail in the shot.

But it's the size thing that does for this - as I look, it's very hard to see the compression artefacts around the forks, so obviously any real detail is going to be equally difficult to see.

would have made more sense if those were spoons but what really bothers me is how small the image is, very hard to form an opinion on something that's only 357 pixels wide.

Try to use odd numbers. 4 is off balance. Yet very good.

you have a beautiful image but its too small. maximize your size to 640pixels on the widest side. you'll have your voters see more details.

I'm afraid this is too small, but it seems to be a nice shot.

The lighting looks pretty good on this shot, but I wish I could see it at a larger size! :-) Good composition on this shot...your eye gets drawn from the tines of the fork all the way down the handle.

Great concept! I particularly like how the four forks together look like one fork lying face down. But why such a small image? And worse yet, why so over-compressed? You realize the file is only 5.8KB?!? I hope you still have the original and upload a proper sized image without compression artifacts after the challenge, a photo this good deserves much better than this. 6 (would have been a 10)
