Patina

Comment by posthumous:
Greetings from Critique Club

Seems like dpc scored you a little low on this one. I gave you a 6, which means better than average. The composition is good, with the different positions of the spoons creating different but complementary shapes with their reflections. Also, the "X" they create makes for two strong diagonals, generally a good thing for adding energy to a composition. I found the crosshatch background quite pleasant.

I like the soft, low contrast, but dpc generally punishes that for no good reason besides a tiny attention span.

To have gotten higher than a 6 from me, the photo must move me in some way, or every part of it must contribute to the whole (your reflections, for example, don't detract but they don't add any thematic interest either), or it must be surprising, new, original.

Good composition, but the reflection of the first spoon is distracting.

good arrangement, only the background is too busy. a bot more contrast could add to the depth of your picture

Nice idea but the reflections are a little distracting and it seems a bit washed out
