You've done a great job here of using kitchenware creatively. Though certainly not the most exciting of the kitchenware shots, you have conveyed a particular message, and that is extremely important in my opinion.
Technically, there are a few issues with this shot, but overall it is well done. The left spoon looks a bit crooked (needs to rotate clockwise a bit), but that is extremely minor (and I might be wrong; I'm simply eyeballing it). As I said in my original comment during the competition, the white is not white, and I believe it should have been. I see that you probably would have run into contrast issues with the left spoon handle had the white been white (since the handle is quite light), but I would call the area below the right spoon gray (not even off-white). The uneven spoon sizes distract a bit from the symmetry of the image, but it certainly doesn't make the image a bad one. Indeed, this is a great shot, and is every bit worthy of a top 30 finish.
Great detail in the spoons, with nothing out of focus. I like the right spoon--and especially the handle--with the browns balancing against the black nicely.
Very nicely done, and congratulations on a new personal best.
The detail of the spoons is great. I think usually equal space is given for white and black but then again, having the spoons dead center may not have been that appealing either.
So clean and simple, and yet so very original: the beech wood textures/palette perfectly set off the Zen fell of the image and title. Lovely. I like the vertical composition too...hmm just very clever the way the spoons lock into each other, echoing the original Yin and Yang symbol.
