I didn't realize how difficult it is to take a picture of a spoon without seeing yourself in the reflection. So I learned something from this challenge.

The trick is you hide the bowl part of the spoon and only photograph the handle... :-) I know what you mean, though - it's hard to avoid the reflections since spoons make such good but warped mirrors. A simple elegant setting - the reflected blue makes me think of summer for some reason, and the promise of ice cream in that dish behind the spoon. From a compositional standpoint, I think the horizontal line between the spoon and the glassware is an interruption of sorts - I think that's where the table surface changes, yes?
