Greetings from the Critique Club :)

First Impression:
The photo has a lot of contrast. It could have being a very nice photo if a little more time had being spent on the lighting and the set up of the items. Also hardly any of the detail on the knife is visible which would have really helped the shot.

Composition:
The composition is good in this photo and fills the photo nicely with each item leading you to the next.

Subject:
As it says in the challenge knife fork and spoon. I like the detail on the fork handle and wish that I could see the same detail on the knife.

Technical:
The lighting on this shot could have being set up a little better maybe by placing the a light at the side of subjects shining across you would have being able to keep the dark shadows in the grooves of the subjects while having an even light across all three items.

My Opinion:
A nice photo that with a little more work on the set up could have being a really good image.

Feel free to contact me via the pm system if you have any questions about this critique.

I think you can see the photographer's reflection in the spoon and for some reason I would have turned the picture so that the cutlery is pointing upwards.

Very different use of light and contrast the utensils.

Too much contrast if you ask me, there is little or no texture in large portions of the shot so I find it hard to rate this shot fairly...

A bit too much contrast for me. And the knife isn't quite in focus.

The knife is dirty and can see your reflection in the spoon (not sure if its intentional)..but lacks appeal overall

Very good contrast. Sure wish the knife was a bit more reflective. Nice use of space.
