Okay, so maybe I was a little bit too honest in my comments. I guess I have to kiss butts from now on and no longer offer any suggestions. Yes, from now on I will only post positive comments telling everyone how great their photos are.

how would they know the photo they were voting on was yours?

Just Blue and Yellow

this shot is too underexposed to be a contended. a bit more brightness and yellow and blue saturation would have worked a lot better

Hi Ed

Seems like the critique club has become "passe" on dpc of late and I decided to chip in to get some done.

The photo did quite well in the challenge and I agree with what the commenters said were problems with composition. Not so much with the placement of the forks, I think that works quite well and creates an abstract quality to it. The only thing I would have said for you to do and I'm sure you know this but the lighting is not even. if there would be some way for you to tweak the lighting i little and make the backround an even red, you would truly have a winner on dpc. a very artsy photo, and a great job on the clarity of the forks. nice job again.
