Hello from the Critique Club:

It looks like you used this challenge to try a new technique and I like seeing that in the challenges (We’re here to learn right?). The trouble is that I can’t quite tell which technique you are trying, the ghost effect or motion blur. Either way, you were smart to go with something a little out of the box, as the subject matter is a bit blasé on its own and would not have even hinted at being long exposure without the effect. If you could have executed your concept a little better this image could have scored over a six easily. Keep trying, as creative thinking like this will help you get higher scores in the long run once you master the techniques.

On the technical side, the exposure and lighting are nicely done. The green items in the background behind the spoon are a bit distracting should have been removed before taking the shots. It is very important to remove all items from an image that are not essential if at all possible.

This is a great composition and a cool subject. I think the background could be cleaned up with some simple adjustments. The over-all shot looks just a little dark to me and even the detail in the subject would improve with a little more brightness and maybe contrast curve adjustments. Sill a strong 7 from me.
