It's actually two spoons on top of each other. I used a long exposure and a flashlight for lighting.

I would have guessed lightbulbs, sometimes voters don't even like personified nudity :P. Maybe alittle brighter would have helped, but it may have scored alittle low because even when taking a photograph of human bums at this angle it can feel like an abstract, so maybe personifying an classic abstract study of human form was alittle hard for the voter to connect with. I like it I would have given it a 7 atleast. :)
I'm struggling to ID the subject here -- not that it matters. But I'm also strugling to determine whether it's supposed to be a rear-end wannabe. Artisitically, I think it's interesting but the highlight is so right that it's difficult to look at carefully for me. 6
Nope, the nude challenge was last week... j/k! Well spotted, and nicely photographed. Look forward to discovering what the actual object is once voting is over.
