@grammyn In most compositions there will be one strong leading line. Because of the way I took the shot, this picture has four and although you might not realize it, your eye will keep shifting from one to the other. Normally, that would not make for a great photo, but in this case, it works. Also there is a tension created by the fact that none of the spoons is fully in the picture. Your eye/mind will naturally fill them in, even though they are not present. Most of the time chopping off part of the subject backfires. But in this case, the "dynamic tension" makes a somewhat mundane subject (a pile of spoons) more interesting.
