Still Life - Grater

Too centered. I see an interesting shadow on the right that was cut off. Maybe Ro3-ing the grater in the lower left and let the shadow fill some of the dead space would have been more interesting. Also be interesting to see this as both portrait and landscape orientation to play with the shape of the DS.

@BGriffin23 I understand your perspective. I disagree. The symmetry is a major portion of the composition - it would feel very awkward, to me, to have it be asymmetrical. I get what you're talking about with the shadow, but that would be a very different picture with a very different composition. I did one like that with the grater standing upright, to the left. You get a lot more of the shadow, but it doesn't feel as interesting to me. Too literal. This is more abstract and makes you look at it in more, different ways.

Grater than what?

Deceptively interesting photo. Did you try focusing on different distances? What made you choose to focus on the closest part?

@pbromaghin I was aiming to be as abstract as possible with the composition. I wanted the sharp edge to be reduced to a line, just a simple rectangle.
