Ideas for set and working out photos to re-take

I've decided not to crop the photos to get rid of the fact you can see a lot of the object in the image. I think it would be better to change the direction of the light to block out the areas of the object I don't want to be shown and if needed use a shorter and narrower aperture. But I need to remember that the focus lies with how the light reveals the detail and form and not the way I take the photo and the d.o.f I've used.

Below are the best of the detail andd form of each object I've taken so far, and I'm going to underneath analyse whether they need to be re-taken and how successful the use of light is to reveal the form and detail. This will make my images and set more clearer because it's a bit confusing at the moment with many different photos everywhere.


Bowl: Form - Re-take to adjust white balance. Maybe try a different angle to see if I can get a different form shape through the shadow


Bowl: Form - Re-take to have shadow cover the entire inside of the bowl. So that the light detail on the bowl on the outside is more focussed on and it doesn't give the object away.


Glass: Form - I like the relationship between the form and the object but it may show too much of the object. I might try to use a shorter d.o.f if I want to use this photo


Glass: Form - I like the focus on the detail of the form here and it doesn't give away the object. I think I like this photo better than the oone above


Glass: Detail - I really like the way the light reflects and highlights the detail of the rim of the glass but I need to re-take this and have shorter aperture so that it takes away from the object and makes the detail more distinguishable


Fork: Form - I like the shadow the forks create but I think you can see too much of the fork so if I re-take the image I could try a different angle.


Fork: Form - I really like the shadow created by the fork, it is an interesting almost abstract form that works well in relationship with the abstract photo. If i re-took this I would take it at a lower angle so you do'nt see the fork bits at the end. The framing could be a bit tighter too


Fork: Detail - I think this photo is from too far away but I like how the light makes a dark shade on the back of the fork and the light has refracted on the side of the fork giving it a 3d effect. I think the detail is very bold in this photo but yes it needs to be closer up


Spoon: Form - I like the shadow and the reflection of the shadow on the bottom of the spoon. I need to re-take this image to fix framing and then on photoshop I want to make the handle and the white section on the joining of the spoon to the handle so that the spoon becomes less recogniseable and the form is highlighted. It would make this image more appealiing and interesting as the curve form would be suggested just through the shadow and its reflection on the bottom of the spoon.
