Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: I enjoy looking at this shot. The composition is pleasing, the colours are saturated but not overdone. I can see why some aren't crazy about the brand name on the pencils, but I find the eye does start looking for it and does create some flow. Had I voted I would have given this a 6.

Technical: I would try to get more light from the left, either with a reflector or second light. I'd like to see more dof too to include the points forming the upper right curve of the heart. ISO seems a little high for a still life.

Artistic: That white pencil does detract because it's right between the black, which is oof, and the chartreuse, which is in focus. I think without the black and white you could've made a smaller, tighter shape.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me.

The threatening visage, the flasing blade - the very essence of the Slasher genre of nightmares. A movie staple. Well done.

Would not want to run into him in a dark alley - at least in this context with that knife

Nicely juxtaposed. whatever that means. someone wrote it on one of my photos once and I thought it sounded clever.
