Greetings From the Critque Club.
Hello Rich, nice within the challenge shot here.
keep in mind these are my opinions only
The shot has a real nice feel about it. I like the fact that this shot is somewhat outside the box, where Still Lifes generally take in a whole setting but you came in close on this one. Not the most interesting subjects (salt and pepper), but you presented them in a way that we have to stop and take in the shot.
Personally I'm thinking that I would have liked to see only a couple things here.
The composition is great, but I believe it might have benifited from an even closer crop. Something along the lines of a 7x5 crop taking a litte off the left, right and top (more off the top and right).
There is a lot of detailed space on the right (not really needed) and some table showing through between the salt and pepper shakers (and upper left) that I don't think important to the shot and sorta distract.
To further hide the table showing through (upper left) and adding a bit of pop to the scene I might have adjusted the Levels even darker (more contrast) to bring the upper left coner to a darkness level almost equivalent to the bottom left pushing the viewer back to the middle frame.
Just my take, overall really nice shot. I like it.

| This meets the challenge – it’s inanimate and arranged. It's more of a photographic image than the classic still life of painting. I suppose that's a good thing. Terrific lighting 7 |
