 If I would have had more time. I would have welded it, instead of bolts. As soft as these bend. I had to keep sharpening the drill bits. I also buffed it with wire wheel to keep highlight from blowing out to much, made a satin finish.

I was going to do a spider but while fitting the body together I bent the spoon up and I had a Scorpion :-Þ

Just used levels, curves, B&W, NI and sharpen.

Coolest. Thing. Ever.

I like the photograph itself, too. The shadows don't make it seem like too perfect of a photo, and the colors are really appealing to me. I just have the slightest problem with the tip of the one fork at the bottom, but I can't crop my way out of a paper sack, so I don't see why I'm talking. :) That one fork, though, now that I look at it, doesn't look like it's bent. Like, the lighting on the handle looks like it is, but it looks 2-D, you know?

I've got to say this, though, in relation to tpbremer. "Forkpion" is the most outlandish-sounding thing I've heard anyone come up with, and that makes the comment hilarious to me.

This is probably one of the the most creative photographs in the challenge. Was that made just for this challenge?

Love that tail! Scary creature! Could improve by getting rid of the shadows

This would carry more impact with a different colored background. I'd suggest a really bright color like a primary blue or an orange.

Or is it a Forkpion?
