 I found this a lot tougher than it initially seemed. TO control all those reflections inside the concavity of those spoons was challenging for me!
But i learnt a lot and it was indeed extremely enjoyable.
I do not know if having a better camera would have helped here. But i struggled a lot with the object to camera distance, zoom available, focusing range and the DoF possible.
I kind of dont bother too much how this does. I tried my best.

Nice idea. I don't mind the reflections, but there could be a little more contrast in the background. Perhaps more light?

The reflection in the spoons are distracting. Also the white isn't white and the black isn't black. Maybe you could have tried to get more of the white and black to reflect in the spoons to make it more abstract looking. Curves in PS would have also have helped get the whites and blacks where they should have been.

Other than seeing the photographer in the reflection I really liked this shot
A nice interpertation and the light/background worked well..
other than the reflection....

I like the underlying idea, but it's way too distracting to see the camera in the photo.

Nice idea, but I can see you and the camera in the photo. Be careful of those tricky reflections

Cool idea. Maybe desat would take away some of the distraction of the reflections. The eye is drawn right to the color.

Watch your reflections. I appreciate the effort, however.

I like your set-up here. Wish your reflection wasn't in it though.

from the reflection--were you holding the camera in your hand? A tripod may have helped your sharpness. Plus, maybe higher contrast in post processing would have helped.

Good effort. The colour that we see in both spoons is slightly distracting to the overall composition though. What is that exactly? You?
