I really liked this shot. Gave it a 9.
Sorry thought I had left a comment. ??
This is a great looking pot and would make a cool series.

You lost me the shadow the form the isolation of the top from the bottom. After just awhile the form abstracts itself.

The hard lighting really emphasizes the beautiful curves in the teapot. The lighting of the subject from underneath really gives a dramatic feeling to the composition. The reflections of the spout and the handle makes you feel the smooth surface of the teapot. "10"

First a question, is the pot actually black or are you working on the silhoette effect? Now my comment. Just the ever slightest amount of fill light to bring in just a smidge of detail at the top of the pot and this is spot on still life!

Great control of the important things, especially the light. Interesting placement of the lights. This is evidently a good photo, so I feel odd saying this, but did you try a square crop? It might have contrasted nicely with the roundness of the pot.

I like the lighting of the teapot and how therefore the shadows work out. Clean background makes it stand out well. It is just that the teapot stands on it own, not very interesting. Its the way how it goes from bright to dark that makes it interesting. 9

Great arrangement with an awesome light and a very clean white. The image could be from a design study. Hope you do very well.

Very creative -- would like to hear how this one was set up! But I love the stark contrast, moving into the gradient! Great!

Cute, simple picture, with flawless gradients. Nice! :)

I marked this low because I don't see the black in the subject. Feel free to send me a PM, and I'd be happy to reconsider.

Lovely shot, very good light control. Love the subject you picked for the challenge. Nice one.

A little on the bright side on the lower left, but I like it. Very simplistic, not a full silhouette so it doesnt look like a cardboard cutout, but the light at the bottom and along the spout gives it a good three-dimensional look. If I was to nitpick I may have suggested a little light on the top right side so it didnt look so flat and give it the same 'body' as the rim on the left.

You cannot get much more simple than this. And yet, so elegant.

Very interesting lighting here.
