I liked everything about this photo and gave it a 7 - expect for the blue/purple shadow around the bowl. I would have dodged it out or something. I would also have left the spoon out too. But overall, nice placing.
Has the dnmc police visited this image? Well I see only a plate with whatever inside as one and the spoon. A good concentrated meal. Bumping to 8 to offset the object counters.
Yuck! not on my diet, thank you... AS to the pic: yes the objects are totally unrelated, but the lighting is too harsh, resulting in too many reflections for my liking here. I can even see you taking the shot, reflected on the spoon!
Three squares per day...and...you'll be a "well-grounded" individual...At least it should help you keep your feet on the ground...with that much weight. ;)
quite a dilemma, i count at least 3 objects (pebbles, plate with milk, spoon), but i like the idea and will not vote it lower therefor.
the reflection in the spoon and on the plate are rather distracting, you should have used softer light and tilted the spoon to the left side.
Nice image. I like that there is a concept here and you didn't just shoot two things. Although I wouldn't have worded your title the way you did (i.e remove the last part) since on quick glance the two objects appear to be the spoon and the cereal bowl.
I love the colors in this shot. Nice sharp focus as well. The only distraction for me is the reflection in the spoon, and I know reflections can be so hard to deal with.
