This image is quite dark on my screen. I see what it is, but it doesn't stand out to me.

Object of my destruction

This is a good start to what I consider "product photography". Shiny metal is quite difficult to photograph in studio. Especially spoons. Let me try to critique this from a purely technical studio approach. The composition to me looks not very well thought out. The front edge ofthe spoon is barely visible. I would like to see the entire rim be lit. The business end of the spoon would be better if it were all in focus. I don't mind the handle fading out at all. The tone is good throughout, but the upper right edge is a bit distracting. It looks as though it is the edge of your backdrop.

I hope this helps and isn't taken wrong. This is a very difficult subject matter to pull off well.

Ball Bearings Argue, and Sparks Fly

This is neat. I think if you could redo this with brand new ball bearings and make the focus more on the inner section of the balls, you would have a real nice shot. Some dramatic lighting would set this off also.

Metal is VERY hard to shoot well in a studio product situation like this. You pulled it off quite well. I'm guessing you used a brand new spoon? The edge lighting around the entire rim is quite well done. the spoon itself shows no visible blemishes (very hard to do with used utensils). Focus is a touch soft near the tip for me, I would have rather seen the handle be OOF more to correct this. The tone is also quite good. You cover a lot of zones in this shot.

The guy that looks like Lyle Lovett in the background is a bit distracting.

I was hoping someone would portray metal without (I assume) any metal in the picture. Good job!

It's a bit crooked, which is troubling to me.
