Critique Club:

Composition: I like the intensity created by being so close to the whisk. The end of the handle is nicely located within the frame, and provides a focal point (helped by the shallow depth of field). The handle and it's shadow blend together a bit too much - perhaps more light on the handle would have helped this.

Technical Quality: I like the shallow depth of field - intentional or not, this really makes this shot interesting. The background is a little bit noisy, perhaps because of low light. I think lighting is the area in which this image could be most improved - by providing clarity and perhaps an even more interesting use of the shadows created.

Meeting the Challenge: Certainly does - clearly from the kitchen, and an artist interpretation. You didn't simply photograph a whisk - you tried to create a photo which stands on it's own. The photo meets the challenge without requiring assistance from the title - good work.

Creativity: The angle of the shot and the close crop are quite creative. Again though, I would have played with different lighting options to see if it could add another aspect to the image.

Border: None present, but none required for this shot.

Overall: Personally I think this shot meets the objectives of "Kitchen Art" quite well. I think it was perhaps a little rushed - the handle lets the photo down a bit by being so dark and merging with it's own shadow. Good work.

Cheers.

That's kinda funky. You should make it more original or add something with a spark to it!

I think this may have been stronger if the whole whisk had been in focus.

I really like the blurry front part of it. Makes the pic more interesting.

A little more sharpness would have done this more justice.
