bad lighting (burning out details on far pipe), not in focus

Comment by bowronfam3:
No focus, and the two pipes in the front are very distracting for this photo.

I like the novel approach and execution here. Could be cropped at the bottom to balance the frame at the top and remove the light on the floor to make the long composition even more powerful.

Very "gainy", focus is off, and little color

Comment by dahkota:
interesting POV. Lighting okay but I wish DOF were a little larger to include some of pipe under house. tones work.

Thanks for your comments guys, I realy apreciate it.

In retrospect I'm pretty pleased with this even if it scored badly. I'm still a newbe and I think I've learned a lot, particularly that I'm realy **** at lighting; something that would have improved this picture a lot.

Clearly the thing to work on is lighting, particularly to bring out contrast and focus the eye on a specific item. Perhaps a different take would be for light reflected of the knife to light up Gruyere, maybe I'll experiment. Any excuse to buy more cheese ;-)
