First off, I think it’s great that at 8 years old you are jumping into something like this.
I like what you are going for and the border works well with the photo. If I were shooting this I think I would have left it in landscape orientation. With the reflection it just seems like it should be landscape as forks standing straight up and left right reflections just don’t feel right to me. I’m not sure if the grain and the spots were intentional, but again, if I were shooting I’d have used a shiny clean background. Also, the sharpness seems a little off. Did you use a tripod? If you did, you had some focusing issues, if not you should have.
Good idea done pretty well. I’d have done a few things differently, but I’m definitely not the expert.
I hope you find this helpful. If you have any questions or comments on my review please feel free to PM me.
I gave this a 3. The quality was not there 'enough' in my opinion. It also seemed a little 'too close', causing the focus to blur. The composition/placement of the fork within the 'frame', perhaps could have used some more attention - to try to get an overall 'balance' using 'empty space' - unless you were going for the 'mirror effect', which, in my opinion, needed to have better 'symmetry' (balance again), so a 'nudge rotation' up on the right may have helped. There also seems to be some 'grain' &/or issues with 'gamma' in the darker areas.
