i think it's uninteresting, mediocre, bland, boring, monochrome, dull
but i appreciate the work that went into it

Sorry I didn't have time to comment during the voting period. I gave this image a 9; it's one of my favourites in the challenge.
I particularly like the use of light, shadow and form. The shapes created by the negative space are just as interesting as those created by the spoons and their reflections.
The manufacturer's stamp on the back of a couple of the handles adds interesting detail amidst all the smooth surfaces. |

This is really beautiful; congratulations. I was thinking of trying your shot from before, but I sat out instead. I could not have topped this though. Excellent layout and tones. I still plan to try this to see if I can come anywhere close to this beauty! Nice work! |

It's a lovely shot, and shiny stuff can be a PITA to shoot well. Nice Job!
Now back to your regularly scheduled program. |

Wow, just perfect! Definitely a top 10 IMO. I love the way you captured the curves of the spoons in an elegant way. Did you convert to greytone? The contrast is perfect here. Can't wait to see who took this one! :) |

returning for comments.
A lovely image and possibly the best capture in the talent. While the softbox light effect creates an ultra smooth transition of tones, it does rob the silver of its bright highlights. However, the trade off is justified because it is replaced with great tonal beauty and gives the image a pleasant feel and one that invites the eyes back again. |

Beautiful job with the reflections. Maybe just maybe the lower edge of the middle spoon is a little oversharpened (jaggy white line)... maybe. |

Outstanding, simple shot with excellent clarity and a wide tonal range. The lines are a little jagged from resizing, but that's a minor critique of a really great photo. |

This image is very soothing - soothing tones and a nice, smooth feeling. Nicely lit. Outside of the challenge, I'd like to see the print on the back removed but I realize you can't do that here. |
