I love it! I've not been into the holiday season much this year - could use some rum to make it easier. lol DOF is perfect, as is the composition. Bumping you to a 10 .

'After the forbidden fruit'

I found this image to be very hard on the eyes, as much is out of focus, and that which is in focus is cluttered by it's surroundings. I really had to search the image to find the mathc with your title - just don't think it was strong enough. Perhaps if you had only the spoon with reflection in the image it would be better.
As for the desat - does not work for me here either.

Sorry I could not be more positive.

Starting with the positive, I like that you thought outside the box and went for a fork in the tracks instead of the silverware type fork. I also like the strong contrast of your image.
The thing that I find most bothersome here is the lack of a strong focus point. My eye is not drawn to the fork in the tracks. I have to search for the meaning here. If the meaning were cold and void, then you would have me. I agree with other commenters that a tighter crop to the tracks, thus less clutter, would be beneficial here.
I hope you find this critique helpful.

'from here to eternity'

A very nicely composed, simple but elegant image. The post-processing done is excellent - not over done. I like your creativity also - using forks instead of the "spooning" spoons. Very clever. I cannot find anything negative at all as the focus, DOF, contrast, saturations are all done so well.

Simple yet elegant. The colors are beautiful. The arrangement of the forks makes for an interesting composition. Focus is tack sharp.
