I am experimenting.
Can I get some feedback on these?
Composition?
Lighting?

The lighting isnt bad on the first one as you have a mix of light and shadow on the fruit that adds some interest. Although I would rather the entire background be black and the fruit lit rather than have the scratched up surface in the lower left. The composition isnt so good. I couldnt tell it was a knife without the name of the file as the only thing visible about it is the handle, which looks out place, partly cropped out, and mostly distracting. My eye is continually drawn to the middle strawberry and that could be because of the light upon it, the center position, or the leading of the knife handle. It seems a little chaotic and the items randomly place, which as a viewer doesnt engage me. It lacks visual appeal as a still life and doesnt seem to suggest any meaning beyond a purely visual presentation.

PS. Sorry if this is harsh, it isnt meant to be. I just thought I should be honest about what I see and feel.
