I love the mood of this shot and the shallow DOF. I like that I can see the lines on the pepper grinder to let me know what it is made of.

Very nicely done. Great job getting metallic textures to show up. My on criticism would be that because of the composition I probably would not have been sure what these items were without the title and I'm of the opinion that pictures should be able to stand on their own without words. Still lots for you to be proud of here.

I didn't vote on this challenge because for the most part, I just couldn't really appreciate a lot of it. But this one is one of the exceptions for me. One of the most moving images I have seen in a long time. Terrific presentation/processing also.
