Greetings from the Critique Club -
First off - let me welcome you to the wonderful world that is DPC. I trust that you will find it quite as addictive as I have.
Now to your image. I will be upfront and tell you I voted this a 4. You did meet the challenge with an image of knives but I felt there were some issues with the image that prevented me from scoring it higher.
I guess my main issue is the black corner. It takes up alot of the image, more than I prefer. It leaves the pic feeling unbalanced to me, and to have such a big area with absolutely no detail seems to have no purpose for this shot.
The composition is a bit uninteresting to me as well. I can tell that you set up the knives but the pattern or rhyme isnt flattering. They feel arranged but again with no purpose. There isnt a focal point with the knives or a center of interest.
Overall this picture is just there. It doesnt grab my attention or make me want to look longer.
Let me say that my first entry (first four actually) were all sub 5 scores. They stunk real bad. But I took my time, studied winning images, learned how to process and over the past year my results have changed. You have come across a great place to learn and suck information. Look over past winners, read their descriptions, read the how to threads and ask people questions. Don't be bummed out by a low scoring first image but look at it as your bench mark. Pay attention to what does well and try to implement that into your style. And most of all have fun here. This is a great place to play.
And again - welcome to DPC!
