Here is a still life I shot for a final assignment. It was actually shot on a 4x5 camera with a leaf back.

I'll take ALL comments, fire away :D

Great shot and lightings.
IMHO Something in the composition is distracting, I am not sure what.
-May be the plate and milk jar is from the same distance from the glass and again too equally spread on left and right??? Sorry not sure.
- And need some negative space on top.

Very nice! I think if you changed the angle a little bit so that the reflections were shorter than the actual objects, you could get in more space at the top (as swapnali suggested) without cutting anything out. The black plate messes with my eyes a little; not sure if that's a good thing or not, haha.


Rebel XT + 17-85 f/4 EFS IS USM + big memory card = occasional good shot

thanks for the feedback so far. I'll keep a closer eye on my angle next time and play a little more with the composition.

I think it just needs to be straightened but other than that it looks great
