Default Late Night Inspiration

I took this late one night after noticing the strange spoon I've had sticking out of my others for a time, and I had a camera in my hand. Thought... hmmm. Nice.

Tell me what you'd do. I desaturated it a bit, for whatever reason.

LOL that is the best spoon ever! I think it (the photo) might be a little too dark though. Just my opinion.

I have the same Koolaid spoon in red It works really well lol

I think if the photo were lighter then it wouldn't draw attention to the spoon as easily, but I think that the background could be a little darker to draw all the focus to the utensil container. Maybe even just moving the hot sauce could do it since that's the brightest thing in the background

apparently, i like happy spoon shots....

the overhead lighting, the desaturation of color, and the dark nature of this shot all suggest a quiet late night in the kitchen.......it sets a mood i am drawn to....

the depth of field could be larger as your smiling utensil is a little out of focus....and while i'm at it....i'd like to see him not so close to the frame....

fun shot!
