greetings from Critique Club
First off, let's get some things out of the way. You know more than I do about getting a good score from DPC and taking a product shot. All I can do is give you my perspective on how I scored this.
Let's start with the score itself: 5. I know that doesn't sound great, but you should know that I hate straight product shots. They normally score in the 3- range for me. So, yours had some redeeming qualities, as follows:
-interesting angle. You are pointing down at the appliance. I expect the bottom part to recede along perspective lines much more than it does. I like being disoriented like that (you've also lined up the right side of the bottom piece so that I can't see it. nice touch). It creates a Surreal effect.
-triangular composition. Even though you have the standard dead-center, close-cropped composition of a product shot, the stray egg-piece and the shadow make for a triangular shape skewed within the rectangle of the photo. This adds interest and energy.
-crosshair effect. you make the blades look like crosshairs by positioning them over their "target", the egg. This is a nice allegorical touch, though it would make more sense (and have suspense) if the egg weren't already sliced.
-shading. you allow some nice shading on the product. usually product shots are too shiny.
[b]How to get a higher score from me[b]
*if you care* hahahaha
-a real background, not this fake whiteness
-a more worked-through or resonant allegory
-a better title to help the allegory

| Interesting perspective - I like how you set it up so as to appear that the slicer has the egg in its crosshairs. The added slice on the right is a good idea - it adds another point of visual interest to the composition. |

| I like how you've lined up the circle so it has targeted the egg. Nice contrast with the yellow and everything else in black, white, and gray tones. |

| If you put some tobasco in this picture I think Id give you an even higher score. The way it looks now I feel a little queasy thinking that someone might eat those as is. |

| Very nice composition and balance. The one slice off to the right balances this image nicely. Very good. |
