I love the geometry in this. It definitely stands out from the million other fork images on this site. The light give this an almost religious feel, and I mean that in a positive way. Eating *could* be a religious experience when the food is prepared properly! One nit-pick: I wish the horizontal had been straightened.

A Lion Rampant

This is a nice shot as far as pictures of money go. The lighting does a great job of emphasizing the detail on the coins. This would do well as stock. I still can't help but wish that there was something more to add a little interest.

Sharpen it in action
by michelaudette

Comment:
This could be a cool image, but I think the lighting lets the shot down. It's too direct, too harsh, and too flat. I would have moved the main light far camera left, almost pointing directly down the blade (I would have made this light much softer/diffused too). Then I would have added a relatively harsh (but still not bare bulb) light behind and camera left of the subject, slightly higher than the subject, to add a rim light.

Objects Forgotten
by Luci11e

Comment:
I think the composition could have been better, especially if you were the one setting up the shot. The objects look like they are simply sitting next to one another, but in a great still life, they would also look like they were relating to one another to tell a story. The lighting is also a bit too flat to help give definition and emotion to the image.

I wish you had moved the tape on the back two so it wouldn't be visible. I'm on the fence about the colors; I seem to relate them with technology from the 90s (though I guess CDs did get popular in the late 90s), which makes the image seem dated to me. I do particularly like the detail in the multiple shadows though.

Stainless steel on stainless steel

I love the light on the background, but I'm not so sure I like the reflections in the bowls of the spoons. I wish they were a bit cleaner to fit the calm, smooth, "honey"-esque mood of the image. And now that I've noticed that the spoons are different, I wish they had been pairs. You did a great job creating a tangible emotion with the color in this image though.

Metal to metal, rust to rust

Looks like your shadow in the foreground. Photog shadows rank right up there with reflections of the camera as a no-no in an image.

I love the story you have created here. Refreshing.

Grandma's House (From Little Red Riding hood)

I don't think this image could stand on its own in this challenge without the title. Maybe if you had added a small girl or even a shaggy grey dog/wolf?

Modern-day Alice in Wonderland
by bryanbrazil

Comment:
I don't think the expression fits. Alice was never particularly happy in the story. She was usually surprised, confused, upset, or lost, so I would have preferred an expression that matched one of those emotions instead.
