Lovely image. Most have probably said there is no proof of the candle here but I really like the image. The lighting is a little hot on the left side of the blub but not a bother. I like that I can see some of the table grain, really nice. The simple white frame helps keep your eyes in the image and complements it nicely. Good luck.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

First Impression:
A well taken shot I like everything about this shot. The slightly dirty spoon and fork give them a used look which is appealing and the background brings them to the forefront of the photo.

Composition:
Perfect use of thirds.

Subject:
You couldn’t have chosen a better looking spoon and fork for this image. The old and rusty look gives them a lot more interest than just plain clean items.

Technical:
The shot is well lit and there seems to be no blown out sections on the metal. I like the rusty kind of a look on the tip of the fork and spoon as it adds interest to the photo.

My Opinion:
This is an excellent example of a well taken and perfectly set up photo. The look of the fork and spoon make it so you just can’t take your eyes off the image. A fork and a spoon have never looked so good.

Feel free to contact me via the pm system if you have any questions about this critique.

I don't see any candlelight here. The cropping gives it an artistic feel, and the title is nice, but I would have preferred that candles be seen. I voted this way down. Sorry.
