Pros: Beautiful blue background. Angle of shot is excellent. DOF is very well done. Not so much high contrast, but still a neat idea and very nice shot.
Cons: The lighting is a bit harsh as it produces glare on the wooden pots that I find distracting. The white pieces look a little over exposed.
ohh very nice shot, I love what your trying to make here. There are a few problems though, the lighting just makes glare on the wooden things and the eye goes stright to that, there is a spot on the background that looks like it's been cloned and not very much time was spent on doing that. the lights are to light and the darks are to dark and it loses some sharpness in the front. Next time take a meter reading for the white and a meter reading for the black and then take the average. also to, move your lights farther back or but a diffuser of some sort on them, (tolit paper works well, the cheap kind) and mabey clean the dust from the sensor and it would be great, keep shooting!
To me the photo doesn't speak "high contrast". It is a well balanced photo and very pleasing to look at and one I would expect to see hanging on a wall. The hotspots from the above lighting are a little distracting with the reflection off the wooden pots. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
