Greetings from the critique club.
This was my favourite of the salt/pepper shots in the challenge.
I like your placement of the two backgrounds. diagonal but not corner to corner.
I feel that the top crop is a little too close, because the pepper shaker is appearing to be farther away, it gives the illusion that the top is cropped closer than it is. The two main elements in an image like this tend to "feel" better if the negative space is equal, or at least looks like it is.
The shakers are at different angles, possible having them at the same angle or more extreme in the difference it would have been better.
One other thing and this is probably just a personal preference of mine, the salt and pepper are rather messy... I'd like to suggest making it neater. The pepper looks as if it is running over on the salt side and vice/versa.
I hope this helps, and remember, this is just my opinion.
JC

| It might help if the transition from the black to the white BG was crisper, still a nice idea |

very clever but the white is very bright on the right side it detracts a little
Great idea |

| I like how you did the white on black and black on white. Must have been difficult to get it to register... Good luck. |

| nice idea...wish that line bisected the two colour from the lower left corner to the upper right. It would have been a stronger image. Still a good shot |

| Probably should have painted the black, I can see it coming up a little. Good Idea and set-up. |

| I predict that there will be more than one "salt and pepper" shot in this challenge. That said, your photo is imaginative and interesting. |

| Great idea - execution not as strong - the biggest problem for me is the angle of the pots - they need to be parallel. The line between black and white could also be a little neater. But I do like the diagonal composition you've designed. |
