  1. I like the idea, I think that if you were to move both drinks to one side and use more even lighting it would be more effective. I might also consider ironing the table cloth :)

  2. I agree with Erich, i think moving the drinks to one side and perhaps even getting rid of one of them would make it seem a little less cluttered. Also if you were able to see the whole knife - just a tiny detail. otherwise, cool concept

  3. I really think the composition is too tight. I feel like that's what I say every time, haha, but the fact that the glass on the right is almost touching the edge makes the image seem cut shorter than its supposed to. If you are aiming for the goal of symmetry and order, then I'd say just go nuts with it; make the table cloth unwrinkled and straight, the knife visible, and be aware of the spaces in between things. I really like the bistro box as a place mat!

  4. I agree with everything said so far. I think you should try to shoot it without the bistro "place mat" and see if that helps it feel less cultured as well? try taking away the spoon as well and just see how it looks with a couple different versions. Good luck!

  6. I think that in terms of the cutlery, there should either be no spoon (because it's not really necessary in eating... Something like that), or it should be laid out in the style of a five star restaurant or something—the whole three knives, two spoons, three forks, all that. Though that may add to the overall clutter and business of the scene, I feel that it would underscore perceptions about fast food and its place in society.

  8. I like how theres a white placemat with a red box on top, the white plate and the red in the pizza at the very top. I think that if you had this composition the exact same but without any cutlery or drinks, it might be a lot more effective and an easier picture to read. :)
