Object of my destruction

Comment by papa:
This is a good start to what I consider "product photography". Shiny metal is quite difficult to photograph in studio. Especially spoons. Let me try to critique this from a purely technical studio approach. The composition to me looks not very well thought out. The front edge ofthe spoon is barely visible. I would like to see the entire rim be lit. The business end of the spoon would be better if it were all in focus. I don't mind the handle fading out at all. The tone is good throughout, but the upper right edge is a bit distracting. It looks as though it is the edge of your backdrop.

I hope this helps and isn't taken wrong. This is a very difficult subject matter to pull off well.

Well framed, nice color. Slightly soft focus works here. Very good concept.

DUCK!

Comment by Imagineer:
Nice, unusual glimpse of what looks like an ordinary urban environment. OK, it's not your 'perfect' shot but it's one that grabbed my attention. It almost makes me want to see what the undistorted view was like.

Since there is no camera reflection I assume this was looking ot through some glass? Nice idea - bet it doesn't score well but good luck anyway. [7]

Nice image of the match burning. Lighting is very good for this subject, focus is excellent, and your composition is good.

As for meeting the challenge I find it slightly weak on that. I understand its meaning about how fast life goes by but I am sure there were voters that didn't think about it.

Very nice photo over all well done.
