I like it :thumbup:

It's okay in concept but I found the the focus is on the forks, not the egg and the forks. It's not the title, it's the lack of depth of field. In a case where the background is black and a totally static subject, why not use f:/22?

Look for a guy on the forums/flickr who calls himself "macromeister" or "rob ashcroft." Rob is the master of this type of shot.

Nice shot.. lights a little flat, but still nice!

Because f/22 would introduce a ton of diffraction and image sharpness loss.

Too flat ..key it up some....work on this as it is a fun concept

Ok I will look at it again tomorrow and improve upon it

I like where you are going with this, you have some great lines happening!

These shots rely on attention to detail in every aspect of the shot, any extraneous details like being able to just see the texture in the tabletop in the reflections cast by the forks need to either be eliminated or obviously intentional.

There is too much space at the bottom, cropping it so that there is equal space above and below grounds it much better, I might even go a little wider, it feels a smidge cramped.

The viewer should first see the lines and second see that it is forks and an egg, black and white might help achieve this.

Hope this helps! Looking forward to seeing the next go!

Probably so. I should have suggested f:/8 as it seems ot be the catch-all "sweet spot aperture." I was just trying to make the point that he could close down a few stops and still achieve the effect he was looking for. Sharpness also depends on the glass. A Zeiss ZE 50 f/2 MP will handle sharpness from one end of the f/stop range to the other without enough loss in sharpness to niggle over, whereas most any other lens will only be that, "close, but no cigar," second place finish. Case in point: Kaleidoscope Canyon in Death Valley Not many of us can afford Zeiss lenses.

This is the link I think he should go to to see other ways this type of imagery is being used: Flickr: rob ashcroft @ www.macromeister.co.uk's Photostream

very good; first i thought it was two fork-two shadow case; would not that be a better concept?
