Ummm this shot needs some critic, only so you improve your skill and stop subjecting us to this sort of photography. USE A TRIPOD, or at least a stack of books or anything solid that lets your camera remain stationary as you press the shutter. Also the composition is poor. In this sort of straight forward depicting shot, every spoon should be completly in the shot. Lastly spend a little more time lighting your shot. Epecially when the colours are so drab, you need lighting to destinguish them giving your shot more definition. The only merit points I give you is for having the courage to enter this shot :)

really doesn't work for me, lacking composition and the blur doesn't add to an 'old effect' at all. I'd be interested to see if I'm missing something here.

I "assume" you wanted the pic to be out of focus? Why?

A little too dark and fuzzy for my taste.

Too dark, too blurry. I would suggest having at least one spoon in focus if you are going for affect, and maybe some better lighting.

This picture has wonderful potential, but suffers from some problems that will hurt its scoring in this challenge. It looks like you were shooting in fairly dim light, and your camera used a longer shutter speed to compensate. At that speed, it was unavoidable that your hand moved a bit while the shutter was open, blurring the spoons considerably. It's a shame not to be able to make out the detail present at the ends of the handles, for that surely would have been a great point of interest in your photo. Brace the camera on a steady object or use a tripod when shooting in dim light to avoid that motion blur. You can also bring in some brighter lights, shining them from the side to avoid the glare and reflection that would come from lights above or behind you. Keep shooting and entering challenges!
