Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - Whisks are good photographic subjects. I think something is lost though from this extreme short distance. The properties of whisks that I personally find appealing in terms of photography are the lines of the wires and the regularity of the pattern they form on the whole. This close sort of obscures that regularity so that it sort of looks like a jumble of wires. I wish the background was flat. The little texture there isn't really hurting anything, but I don't prefer it to plain and flat. The highlights left from the flash are too intense. What I do like about this photo is the contrast between the bottom wires and the counter top and the bottom wires and the top wires. I like how the top ones are very bright (too bright in some cases) and the bottom ones are all but black. This is a great effect to show in a single utensil. Nice work there.
Technical - Well taken macro. DOF is pretty great so that most of this is in focus. I don't know what the F-number is so its hard to make any association without exif data. Whatever the case, I like the technique and the black and white works well for this photo.
Overall - Not a bad photo. Nothing extraordinary either. Well taken, but I'm not sold on the overall composition although there are some qualities that are very attractive. I think the score pretty much conveys my feelings about the photo, were I to quantify it. Hope this could be of a little help to you. Maybe natural light and a longer exposure would've done you better than the flash. Good luck with your future challenges mate - Inspzil |

| I can't decide if the light reflections on the wisk are helpful or harmful. The shot would be kind of boring without them, but they are a bit harsh. I bet the focus was tricky on this one. black and white is an excelent choice. :) I do like the angle and framing/cropping. Looking down the list of photos, this could have been a "wisk" challenge. Good luck in the challenge. |

| great whisk. I like the black and white. the light is a bit harsh on some of the uh... metal bits. Other than that, high marks from me. |

| Kitchen whisks make for good photos, I wish I had thought of that too. You did a good job with yours! |
