Killer image, pun intended. Beautifully lit. I'm a bit unsure how I feel about the shift in BG behind the handle, but I'm not gonna let it bother me.

Greetings from the Critique Club,

Excellent image! I love the composition and that is such a great subject. The incorporation of the sky is perfect as well as it breaks up what would be a very dark image.
The image is on the dark side, but it looks like you had to do that to keep the sky from blowing out. Maybe, try taking it from a higher angle to get less sky and more of that great web on the dark background, but I wouldn̢۪t take the sky out of the photo completely. I do like the darkness, but I think it would need to be a little more colorful as a print.
I̢۪m a little curious about your aperture of F5.7. Were you going for a deep DOF but needed to open it up a little to shoot it hand held? Personally I think I̢۪d rather see it with a more shallow DOF to draw all attention to that great web.

If you have any questions or comments on my critique, feel free to PM me.

Yes, it is a knife. I'm rather surprised that there are actually quite a couple of these. Sharp focus. Just like the blade.
