 This is a tribute to keith maniacs 18/10 Image.
Sorry I couldn't really come up with anything original, but someone once said: " Good artists borrow, great artists steal" So that's where I'm at.
Hope you like it.

This setup took Hours!!! I never thought shooting Silverware would be so hard. But to get the reflections just right was a royal pain in the ***

Post Challenge. I really thought that this would be in the top ten. But top 20 is just fine too.

nice work with the lighting and setup, the double reflection is just a hair distracting for me for some reason

Lovely shot. I wonder if the crop were less tight, if the spoons would command all that attention? They are kind of overwhelming in this tight of a crop.

A very nice image.

Excellent work. You have almost met the past winning images in all respects. Hope to see this in the top 5 list.

The soft lighting really works here. The reflections are interesting as well.

Great graphical quality and use of contrast.

All silverware is created equal. Do you mean some is just more equal than others? Nice, smooth image, just the right tones.
