Experimenting with form

[palaima]

Hello,
so my thought are:
1. I want a bit more space in the upper part.
2. a little bit more parallel to the lens (or maybe a greater DOF)

I wonder what your thoughts are :)

Thanks in advance!

I enjoy photographic art like this. My only comment is the vignetting promotes focus for a round subject or scene but your subject lays horizontal edge to edge. Not to say it doesn't work but what would happen the burn at the top was horizontal edge to edge rather than round? Another choice is a pure white backdrop at the top and let the weight of the subject ground the canvas at the bottom. Of course you have some strong vignetting support under the subject already.

Just a thought about potential choices for support.

Thanks! I am thinking of getting rid of vignetting at the top.
A straight line would give symmetry....which will be a bit awkward to watch...

I have no problem with the vignetting, but it would probably work just as well if a little less, especially in the lower corners.

It already looks parallel to the lens, so I don't understand your point there.

I also think there is too much blank area above the spoon, and I would think it would be more enjoyable if the camera were slightly higher and pointing slightly down, thereby giving greater 3-dimensionality.
