Greetings from Critique Club
This got a 4 from me because, well, it's just a picture of knives. I probably should have given it a 5 because you did a competent job on it. I like how you don't show the base so the angle of the knives seems arbitrary. I like how dark the shadows are. I like that the wall is unfocused on the right, creates a dizzying effect. But all these efforts are in service to an uninspiring idea. The Norma Bates reference in your title seems an afterthought. Yes, the knives seem a little threatening, but in a sci-fi rather than spooky-motel sort of way. Also, they're just not threatening enough. And what's Norman going to do with those scissors?
This is a good example of how a good-looking shot that is weak on concept might not do well. |

Interesting shot, great lgihting, but the large dark area on the lower part of the picture (the knife holder) is not interesting and takes away from the more interesting knife handles. A crop up higher might have been a bit better imo. I also get the feeling of the scissors being a bit too crowded on the L. 7
