Interesting idea, However, it seems very flat and the dof also seems a bit shallow. I think I would have liked a strong contrast here.

I love the simple composition of this B&W still life, I love the angle of the shot, and I know I must be missing the obvious, but I don't get it. I hate to ask, but please explain the concept.

The bottle is tilted to the left and the crop seems abrupt at the top. Focus seems to be on the knife insignia too. I don't understand the totality of the concept either, given tha bandages.

I'm a bit lost on the knife part. Wait, are you doing your own surgery? Ok, I get it a bit more. 5
