Comment by StephenG:
The composition is too simple for me. All of the photos with numbers in them don't seem to work.

Not really impacting me much, I'm afraid. The subject is dark and the bright background is what draws my eye. If your camera has a good macro mode, a closer view of that moss growing on the twig would look pretty cool.

Beautyful picture, BUT, an abstract image is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature

to me this is more of a bokeh background than an abstract one...sorry

I'm not sure about this background and the prime object seems a little dark for me too. I like the position of this branch and the focus, but it's not that abstract for me. Good luck, sorry if i was rude.

Lighting really hard but you got the colours to look really gross for eggs. in that way affective but i think softer light would have helped and plate seems to be tilted to left

Creative. Lots of light though.

Comment by Lutchenko:
Well the image certainly meets the challenge very well.
Something about the table being set for a left hander just makes it odd to look at, not that there is anything wrong with left handed people of course, my own son is one.

In terms of image quality it has a real snapshot feel, a bit flat and uninteresting, with the top left hand corner being a a distration in my opinion.

There is also a depth of field problem with the foreground appearing to be out of focus.

To improve I would have possible put a dark table cloth under the plate, stood further back to take the shot and avoided cropping out the handle of the knife.

Sorry to be harsh but I'm scoring it 4/10

The flash is too bright/direct in this shot. It would have been less flat using a tripod and ambient lighting only. It's a shame the crop is so tight (I would have kept all the utensils in the frame). Still, I like the idea.
