I don't care for the border, and the speck at 3 o'clock is distracting. The brown color cast accentuates the theme of the image. The contrast between the palate of the subject and the blue reflection feels somewhat odd. You may wish to check out this tutorial for info on removing or shifting the blue to a warmer color.

This is one of my favourite compositions, I would however prefer to see a whiter background rather thean the cream. I suspect a whit ballance issue,

A nice crisp macro shot. I like the coloration of the background, and even the border works for me. The composition is spot on too. Nicely done.

Love the lighting and colours. Some will hate the frame I think it adds to the photo

Not overly fond of the pale yellow lighting, composition is ok though.

Good image, not sure if the back ground is suppose to be tanish or the white balance is off and should be white? I think a solid white background would had been better for me............meets the challenge

Nice composition. I'm not fond of the background and border for some reason.

I am not really fond of borderl It does bring out your color scheme though. Would be interesting with just inner border. Would have been nicer with a little more light on spoon bowl imo.

The substrate has an appealing color to match the coffee beans. The frame is also pretty nice.

such a nice composition! the warmth of the background color is getting picked up in the spoon, though, and the spoon's kind of melting into the background. for me, that detracts from the impact of the picture. and this simple, clean image deserves to just pop! : )

I almost said, I would have liked this if the background was true white but then I caught the border and thought, It's mocha tones. I hope this is what you were going for as that is the impression I get when I look at your great entry. Only flaw I can see is maybe some sensor dust in the middle right hand side of the shot.

Sweet. the colouring and border are great. That light coffee colour really works, especially where it is reflected in the handle and you held a fine DOF. The composition is a bit off , be interesting if you played around with some thirds options. I would suggest at least lowering the centre of the spoon to the horizontal thirds line. I'm goign to score it well, but there is probably another point in there yet.

Liked the colour of background, the lighting, and the framing border. However, the spoon looks a little shortened because of the viewpoint. 7.
