A slightly deeper DoF, with the focus point pushed back so that at least all of the bowl of the spoon was in focus would help. Also, the odd shadow/highlight in the top right corner is distracting from the subject. A jauntier angle would have made this more interesting.

whatever is happening in the upper right hand corner is distracting to me. otherwise, i like it.

This is a good start to what I consider "product photography". Shiny metal is quite difficult to photograph in studio. Especially spoons. Let me try to critique this from a purely technical studio approach. The composition to me looks not very well thought out. The front edge ofthe spoon is barely visible. I would like to see the entire rim be lit. The business end of the spoon would be better if it were all in focus. I don't mind the handle fading out at all. The tone is good throughout, but the upper right edge is a bit distracting. It looks as though it is the edge of your backdrop.

I hope this helps and isn't taken wrong. This is a very difficult subject matter to pull off well.
