i like the color cast of this shot, maybe a little different cropping to take away the dead space, or if you could have taken the shot with the handle completely in the shot, because it does seem a bit distracting. maybe a simple pan would do it. I definitely like the subject though.

Hi marc,
As a stock shot I am sure this would find some places to be used. However it reminds me of the many flower shots we see up or critique that are centered in the frame with lots of space. Perhaps pulling back to show the full handle paired with the dial may make for a stronger image. I like the warm tone you imparted to the image. How was that done?

Nice subject but te cut off handle is distracting. there seems to be a hair or something just left of the dial too. I would crop off some of the space to the right and include the handle next time to give the shot a little more interest!
