Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.
First Impression - the most important one:
Not bad .. interesting product ... but a few distractions.
Composition:
I would almost call it contrvied ... I know still lifes are a set up thing .. but often in paintings they are set up for use ... here the handles at the same angle and not really looking like you can just pick them up and use them ...
Subject:
Monocromatic you wanted and that is what you got ... meets the challenge and scored way higher than you predicted too.
Technical (Colour and light):
There is a line where you background and table meet ..this is a clear distracition for me ... using a backboard with a slight bend eliminates this sudden change in direction from being obvious. The lighting is fine .. seeing it in the just is not that great, the reflections are really distracting ... I have no idea how to deal with this ... but I am sure we will all be faced with it and have to find out.
To grow its vote?:
I think this shot did great for the shot it is ...
Summary:
Good work ... I hope you learned what you were after.
