Sorry, DNMC, IMHO. Cool shot though.

I like the angle and the subject but the dof is a little too shallow for me

Unless I'm mistaken, this is a corkscrew. Interesting take on the basic corkscrew, but not a knife, fork or spoon anywhere that I can see.

That is a cool swan, but the picture isn't that great and i don't really like the border.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi Slavik. I like the way you set this up. Composition is good. The subjects are centered but your use of shadow DOF helps to push the focal point off-center which makes this work.

Lighting is also good but you did clip the highlights somewhat. Just lower the light intensity or diffuse it more to keep that from happening.

Overall the image is solid. Good lighting, composition, color and contrast. It also fits the challenge, IMO. Your score however doesn't reflect your good points so much as it reflects your chosen subject. Toys, figurines, statues and the like are very difficult to do well with regardless of how well it's shot. So if you plan on shooting something like this again and want to improve your score you may want to incorporate a more clever idea or do some more things with the lighting to win you creativity points. You're definitely on the right track looking at some of your other entries so just keep at it.

DOesn't seem to be too 'low key' in terms of lighting.

hahahaha, cute, a little bit over exposed, the depth of field effect doesn't looks real.
