very nice composition... my only critique would be the darkness on the detail... I can definitely tell that these are old but I think a little highlighting on the details would be nice as well... good work :) = 9 - jmsetzler
Good job on the black background and the lighting...I think the utensils could have been placed more dynamically though. Cropped more tightly or at a less straightforward angle would appeal more to my taste.
Even though you wanted them to look older with your lighting I think it would have been more powerful if you had used more light. Use indirect light to keep from getting unwanted glare. You probably tried moving them around, but the placement still doesn't look right to me. My problem is I don't know what would help. In my opinion, Autool
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - good
