I don't know what makes me laugh so much. Please, tell me why I think this is so funny. Maybe because of all the different shapes. Or maybe because I'm a sick
puppy. Good job! Man, I hate giving a 10 so soon.

I love the clarity, and the color's so vibrant...but I wonder....what if you tried having the cereal bowl over an utensil compartment out of spoons and just the others in full abundance? *tries to place in mind* Just a thought.... Either way I love the boldness

Interesting idea, the knives make a good subject, I wish I could see more of them better. If the bowl and knives were set against a simpler background and the view was tilted up so we could see better...

ah, double irony with the reversal of the song lyric. clever. I like the composition, except the glass on the left keeps pulling my sight over there and that's distracing. scary looking knives.

The hot spots are very distracting. I like the angle and the coposition though.

Good one! Those aren't all your knives are they? I had better be very careful how I comment your pics from now on then :-)

Nice shot, colors and sharpness excellent. Don't think that this is irony though...

Background is distracting and while the concept is good, there are about three of them with the same theme in this contest.
