Composition: In general I really like the composition of this image - the inclusion of the shadow is very important. It does seem like the image is a bit too concentrated on the right side - you could have turned the camera very slightly (and had a bit more space on the right side of the jar/tin. The miniture drop coming off the spoon creates an annoying shadow, but it's quite minor until you look a lot.
Technical Quality: The focus on the spoon is very good, with the blurred shadow. The whole image has a golden glow about it - kind of appropriate for the subject. I like the light reflected in the syrup and tin, although the light in the spoon is a bit too bright (very hard to control though).
Meeting Challenge: As others have commented it's probably not close enough to be considered a macro. An example of a macro might be just the spoon head. I tend to think of macro as roughly meaning "printed larger than real life".
Creativity: I like the subject, and the shadow created from the lighting makes it quite an interesting shot.
Border / Title: No border, but this isn't a problem. The title is ok but not terribly creative. Given that english probably isn't your native language though it's fine.
Overall: It's a good shot that probably suffered (in terms of score) because it isn't really a macro. Very good otherwise though.

| I would call this more of a close up than a macro. Good lighting and shadow though, and pleasing colors. There is some noise on the background, but I understand the problem with that and decreasing the size. Sure the original looks great. |

| I like the shadow and the lighting in this one. FYI- this does not really seem like a macro to me-- more like a still life. |
