I really love this image. The black & white tones are great; I'm sure it's beautiful in color as well. Congrats!

Nice setup, good detail but I almost want to see this in colour.

I like the bold choice of going B&W in a conventionally color sort of style. My only nit is the writing on the knife - maybe use the other side?

Superb. Hope it scores high for you.

Nice choice in B/W decision. It really lets the textures speak. Your lens choice is very sharp at ground zero (focal point)...front left apple is jumping off my screen! :-) A top pick for me. Good luck!

Lovely composition with nice contrast, detail and lighting. Can't help but feel that it would have been more effective in color. 7

I like this and I think your choice of black and white is nice. Only thing I see that would make this better is if you had choosen a different knife or positioned the one you used differently so that the words didn't show.

good bw-conversion and contrast, nice natural lighting. the text on the knife spoils the harmony here
