Hi from the Critique Club,
You've done a great job here of using kitchenware creatively. Though certainly not the most exciting of the kitchenware shots, you have conveyed a particular message, and that is extremely important in my opinion.
Technically, there are a few issues with this shot, but overall it is well done. The left spoon looks a bit crooked (needs to rotate clockwise a bit), but that is extremely minor (and I might be wrong; I'm simply eyeballing it). As I said in my original comment during the competition, the white is not white, and I believe it should have been. I see that you probably would have run into contrast issues with the left spoon handle had the white been white (since the handle is quite light), but I would call the area below the right spoon gray (not even off-white). The uneven spoon sizes distract a bit from the symmetry of the image, but it certainly doesn't make the image a bad one. Indeed, this is a great shot, and is every bit worthy of a top 30 finish.
Great detail in the spoons, with nothing out of focus. I like the right spoon--and especially the handle--with the browns balancing against the black nicely.
Very nicely done, and congratulations on a new personal best.
Regards,
Geoff Ball |

| I love the comanding simplicity of this still life. Evidence that sometimes less is best. Well done. |

| Good concept and nice lighting, but I'd have gone for perfect symmetry, with same size spoons and same amount of space on either side. |

| The detail of the spoons is great. I think usually equal space is given for white and black but then again, having the spoons dead center may not have been that appealing either. |

| So clean and simple, and yet so very original: the beech wood textures/palette perfectly set off the Zen fell of the image and title. Lovely. I like the vertical composition too...hmm just very clever the way the spoons lock into each other, echoing the original Yin and Yang symbol. |

| Good detail, but the white isn't very white (it's too gray in the bottom-left). |
