If it's difficult to answer then it's probably what many voters were wondering too. I would have chosen pure white or even a very dark colour and shot it from lower down, avoiding the shadows on the background too. This would demonstrate the balance element more dramatically. Since you can't easily hide the fact that the fork was tucked under the spoon, it could have looked more impressive edge-on (90 degrees). Cheers Jon

Thanks for the Critique Jon. The reason I chose the background and the color, was because it covered up the crummy setup I had. I wanted a pure white background, but didn't have what I needed at the time. You're suggestion of a dark brackground and angle I could've done and I think it would have improved the shot a lot. Thanks again.

Very clever, and a decent shot (though a little sharper might get an extra point.) -7

I don't know what you were trying to achieve but I do have a feeling that it didn't really work.
