Very creative - I would have liked to see the fork's shadow a little better (darker?!)

Very clever picture - what a good idea. Sharper focus would have given a bit more 'pop' though.

That is well done.
I assume the spoon is resting on paper or something, and the fork is below that with light from below baking the shadow. 7

Interesting effect, but don't see the backlighting aspect personally.

Where is the backlighting????? Looks like top lighting that is casting a shadow. Nice intrigue making a spoon into a fork DNMC
