I am sure many have tried it before. Plastic forks arranged on a computer screen. The screenis the only light source here, you use polarizer to obtain black background and colorful forks. Will probably tank but have nothing else to submit and want to submit something.

Processing: crop, saturation, contrast, resize, NI, USM frame.

Ahhhh, that's where the back lighting comes from. Funny I'd played with my CP about a month ago and noticed I could completely black out my computer LCD.
Congrats on the image, it's one of those that fooled many of us into thinking it wasn't backlit. Well you didn't have to worry about my vote affecting you as I didn't have time to vote on over 20 percent. Mine were comments only. Congrats on such a high finish.

The prismatic colors of the light through the forks is really cool. Nicely done!

I love the lovely complimentary blues, oranges, yellows, and greens in the reflection on the forks. Very nice patterns, but for the life of me I can't see the backlighting.

I really like this photo. I commend you on the cleanliness of your forks, the beautiful colours that you have generated in the reflection,and a rigid but pleasing composition, but I can't work out how it is back lit, and therefore marked it accordingly. I am doing this nervously, in case there is something that as a rank amateur I am missing. I look forward to being enlightened. Good Luck!

I really like the way you have done this. It did however take quite a bit of studing of the image to work it out and I think you may get DNMTC votes from the speed voters. Good luck with it and a great imagination.

I really like this photo. the symmetry, colors, everything. I just don't see how this is lit from behind. I'd like to read it after the challenge (or send me a PM)
