 Taken of a set of old pewter silverwear my moms had in our silverwear drawer for ages. i thought they had the cool texture and feel to them, as well as what i think is an exceptional DOF to score higher thn i have been lately.

This is indeed a very cool pattern for silverware! I like the warmness of the tones here, but if you want, you can try "blue-ing" the white balance a little to cool it and brighten it a bit. Try using selective color - take some yellow out of the reds, and add a bit of cyan. Or if it was shot in RAW, you can just turn the temp down a few degrees before you import it into Photoshop.

The blurry light in the background suggests a church. The image on the right could have been placed closer to the rest. This is a beautiful picture. The textures make me want to feel them, & of course the blurry background represents poor vision, (duh)

I really like this. The color and grain in the table and texture of the spoon and fork give this a medieval feel. The lighting also lends itself to another time. very nice.

Interesting subjects and interesting detail with warm lighting and lovely shallow DOF. The lower edge feels crowded, could do with some negative space like you have at the top.

I think it would have been better with a little more depth of focus but that is a neat looking set of silverware.
