Taped the knives together, put metal chopsticks on the back of them to prop them up - many shots later, this was it. One single desk lamp - no flash.

Thanks all, and thanks Jason. I didn't have my macrolab set up since I just moved here. I think you'll see a marked improvement in my flora, and depending on my ambition, my fauna. :)

oh man. that was a great idea! the shadow looks perfect. it's a damn shame you didn't do this on a flat white surface, i bet it would have done extremely well. thanks for checking out my color shot. it was a normal desaturation, because everything in the background was blue.

I like the use of the shadow, but the background is very busy, and the idea of using knives is a bit strange.

Very creative! How did you get this to stand up? It looks like you glued the cross-bar to the other two knives, but did you tape the supports to the carpet?

Definitely cool.

Nice one, very original! I like the shadow of the pi "sculpture" in the background. I might have used something different to the carpet though.

Very good idea...unfortunately the background is awfully busy and distracts from the object.

Glue the knives together? The carpet detracts from the subjects. Good idea.

The shadow pi is a good idea. The image is all run together, however since most everything is the same tonal range.

I like the background here, and the shadow makes an interesting addition. For me, I think it would be more effective if the knives were actually in focus.

very original idea, gives off a impressive visual impact. focus is right on, you even have some refection of the carpet on the knives. nice shadows from the lighting too.
