Didn't have time to comment during voting but thought I'd pop back and let you know that this was one of my top entries - I gave it a 9. I really like the contrast between the fine and precise detail of the foreground object and the loose, more abstract nature of the background. The DOF works well to blur that background and exaggerate that difference. I like too the way that the background splits between dark and light. Black and white works really well too.
7 - Like the capture and the unusual (and seemingly uniform) pattern on the spoon face. Toning works well. Criticism; a few 'imperfections' here and there on the 'face', but may just be reflections and I am undecided if they add or detract from this shot. Perhaps a slightly different 'composition' arrangement may have made this even better but not sure on that as this works well as is. The background 'adds' an unusual element, just like to see the spoon handle 'pop' a little more at the top there against it.
