Ahh, a perfect 5!

I thought so, too. But that's because, despite your rendition of a cell phone, I hate photos of cell phones and will never rate them higher. (For some people it's babies, cats, and other things I like. For me, it's cell phones.)

I suspect you won't want my technical comments after that, so I'll just say "Thank you for playing closest to 5 today!

Great shot. It might look better using a knife with a better handle, but I still like the shot.

LOL... can you hear me NOW?! Interesting idea. The OOF knife handle is OK, since it leads your eye to the "feature." The only thing that bugs me is that you've got a horizontally centered composition that isn't. I might have centered it more, turned it diagonally or moved it even more off-center so it looks intentional.

Great picture! Compositionally reflection is a bit off and breaks the symmetry. Also a slight imbalance between upper and lower parts of picture.

Nice shot. The knife's blade is just a little hard to see though....
you could have tryed dirtying it up a bit.

Had to look twice to see what this was. Nice twist on a familar theme

Very unique. My only comment is that the blurry knife handle is somewhat distracting. 8

I couldn't figure out what this was at first--and I hate to have to think too hard ;>. Maybe a slight change of shooting angle would have made the knife stand out more.

too much unfocused knife and too much white space for my taste

A shame to do that to one of the most sucessful cellular phones ever (at least in Iceland), but great shot, love it!
