This sort of reminds of one of those early-man cave paintings! The lighting is fantastic. It adds just the right amount of mystery yet you can still see the catch lights in their eyes. Nice one!

Perhaps a little too much DOF for me. I find myself distracted by the background.

Would have cropped a little off the bottom so that the bottom edge is almost at the plate level. I would have also used a shallower DOF so that everything behind the knives was blurry. Also would have moved the front wine glass a little more off center. Unfortunately the knives blend in with the background due to the lines in the window and the darkness in the bushes.

Another idea would be to take the plate out of the shot and move the turkey platter to the right and the front wine glass to the left.

Wonderful, crisp, and sharp, That knife in the middle has an amazing contrast and the wine glass so crisp. Great job!
