CRITIQUE CLUB!
Yo, Ben.
Overall a very well-done photo. The range of blacks-and-whites is quite good and I don't think the photo is either too light OR too dark. The polaroid-y type border is well-done and sets the photo off from the page quite well.
I only have 2 nitpicks. The first is the flash of light in the cup of the spoon. Unfortunately, it draws the eye to it and distracts somewhat. If there had been a way to soften that, it might have been better.
Secondly, I'm not sure about the composition. I like the way the forks are lined up so rigidly, but having the spoon draped across them makes it seem like just a random spoon thrown into the shot -- not like the spoon was sneaking in to the lineup when it wasn't supposed to be there. I don't know what your intent for this was, but I'm wondering if it would have been more effective to have the spoon stuck in a row of similiarly-placed forks instead? Wonder if you tried that, or were just going for something different.
Either way, a great shot for the challenge.

| doesnt seem to meet the challenege... feel free to email me and explain, as otherwise it's a good photo.. seems more like an ordinary something that's out of place rather than a strange something in a strange place |

| NIce set up, maybe a tad dark. Honestly, I was hoping for more out of this world strangeness in this challenge. Good photo. 7 Swash |

This seems too dark overall, yet too light in places - a tricky effect to achieve! I think the light needed softening, or bouncing to even it out across the scene a bit more.
Not a bad shot, composition is good, and I like the angle you've shot it at. |
