Very well placed and composed but you forgot just a few things. Did you mean for the flatware to be dirty? Is that the reason for the title "Polish Line", because you are lining them up to be polished? If so then disreguard my dirty comment. There are several smudges and scratches on the forks and spoons, and your lighting picks up all of them. You did pick out some very good forks and spoons for the challenge because of the beautiful details on the handles. I like it because it is a little pattern and the rest of the flatware is very contemporary. You probably should have held up a posterboard or a piece of plain white paper on top of your subject to keep from getting relections from the window or ceiling, not sure what that is showing up in the spoons. The details and focus are spot on though! Way to go with that. I have such a hard time getting everything in the frame in focus on a small subject with my camera....of course I don't have a 10D...I am so jealous. Good luck with future challenges.

Good composition on this shot. There are some distracting reflections in some of the flatware (bah! silly ceilings!). But everything is lined up well and I like the diagonal effect across the frame of the shot. I might be interested to see this in color with some kind of "tuscan" colored surface beneath the silverware...mostly because of the really cool design on the bottom of the handles.

Nice pattern, I get the feeling of endless row of forks and spoons.
