Greetings from the Critique Club!

First impression: Hard to find too much fault here. The only thing that did jump out at me is the pattern on the chopsticks in gold, I would have liked to seen the chopsticks placed together to make a complete crane...well as much as possible, anyway :-)

Artistic: Very elegant, subtle and simple shot. Great detail on the closest chopstick. I like the various tones of red here all working together. Have to admit I like the Lensbaby effect, even though I do shoot the *other* brand!

Technical: Looks fine in terms of lighting, comp etc and the voters seem to have agreed. Looks like you used very little pp which gives you a big thumbs-up in my book. The KISS principle rocks.

Overall: This was a pretty tough challenge to get a decent vote in, and you finished at a healthy 6.2 and in the top 15. So good work kiddo, keep it up!

Feel free to PM me,

Susan

This photo is really cool. I like the simplicity and how you've focused only a very tiny part of it

Interesting, pretty, red, and tack sharp where it should be. Nice almost abstract. I can see this framed in an oriental restaurant or a dining room with an oriental decor.

I like the simplicity and the composition... the shadow from the plate is a bit distracting though. I'm also wondering if a slight crop of the right edge would place the ends of the chopsticks on the magic "thirds" line. Nice photo.

Elegant simplicity of design. I think I would prefer a clear focus on both chopsticks, but I still like this a lot.
