I think it might have been really interesting if the label of the can were completely obscured or in shadow. Its just a tiny bit distracting. Otherwise, the focus is drawn well to the subject. I like the composition. The exposure is good.

A good idea, offset by a disgusting can opener. A clean one would still be low tech.

a very nasty, grundgy, diseased canopener! I'll not be coming over for dinner. ;-)
Good entry!

Hey, I wouldn't be using that opener, looks a little rusty ;-) Great shot, love the lighting on this shot. Only thing I would change is the label, I have a feeling it might have looked a little better without the Beef label. Still, excellent work.

That piece of metal is just gross looking! It would be hard to choke down the meal that it opened. Great low tech choice, no interpretation needed. The framing and crop is fine as is the DOF, but the subjects have a turn off factor that rivals the message. You should take a Dremel or Brillo, clean up the can opener, peel the label off the can and reshoot a black and white with maximum impact. Very high marks for challenge interpretation and composition, some deduction for subject that makes me want to wash dishes.

What a great subject - who knew a can opener could have personality? The only change I'd make is to get rid of the label on the can.

Nice idea! And a great shot too, why do you have such a rusty can opener? :p
