Greetings from the Critique Club
The hardest thing to do in this shot must have been controlling your reflections and you have done a wonderful job. The lighting is spectacular in this shot and I love the contrasts. Smooth metal, rough surface behind it - excellent.
One thing that probably didn't work in the shot is the lack of context. Your title doesn't tell me anything to assist either - it looks like a doorknocker and you have Decorker? I don't understand. That being said - there isn't enough door to see that it's a knocker and there isn't enough cork to "get" the picture.
It's a beautiful picture - I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to get from it - the message - besides the beauty of the knocker.
Happy shooting!

| while on the whole the subject is not awe inspiring, the wonderful lighting on the textured backgournd and the lustre on the metal makes this a very intriguing photograph. 7 |

| Can´t put my finger on it but I like the shot, very odd somehow in that I am not sure how this gimmick works and wether it is shot at a 90 degree angle or what is really up and down in the image but still without a sense of uncomfortable vertigo. Good job, 7 from me. |

| I love the steel look... very cold but modern. |

| For some reason this reminds me of the movie Dead Ringers. Great study in b/w. |

| I was browsing through the thumbnails just to see what was in the challenge and ran across this image. And I had to vote and comment. So now I have to vote on the entire challenge. Thanks! ;) I am really intrigued by this. The tones are phenomenal. By the backdrop/background, it looks like you rotated the image. Even looking at it that way, I still have no clue what it is. But that doesn't matter. The fluidity of the shape is what drew me in. And you've shown it so well with your lighting. Excellent work! 10. |

| I'm sure this was unintentional (or not!), but the way you presented this horizontally adds a phallic nature which I think blends into the theme. Compositionally and technically, a great B&W photo, with what appears to have just enough tone. |

| I don't understand why you rotated this 90 degrees counterclockwise... I think it's distracting |
