Wanted to try a monochromatic close up shot (giving only enough of the items in the photo to let you know what they were). Removed color using adjustment. Cloned out reflections, unsharp mask and adjusted tones. Cropped and resized.

I think i can claim to have some experience of photographing shiny cutlery ... compositionally I find this a touch weak - the relationship between the two things is rather arbitrary. The points of real contrast are in weak areas of the frame - either too low or too central, the balance of the 'weight' of them is heavily skewed in favour of the fork, the sharp lines are too sharp resulting in 'jaggies', and the reflections, in balance with the background, are so busy and not terribly well placed. All of which is, naturally, my opinion only.
