The version you see here, has been down sampled, so never show the true quality, which is why I keep asking for High Res images.
The only time it's not a good idea to upload a High Res is when the original is already a low quality.

It looks very nice in high res

Great composition, very imaginative.

could do with some white balance corrections, your finger looks awfully blue.

Here's a little correction. You're right ...better.

Much better, I now think you will recover.

I like how the edge is in contrast to the knife color, but your counter top is pretty busy and takes away a little from your subject. I'd love to see this knife on a solid colored background to accent the edge. Just my opinion. Nice entry author.
