It's like they are fused together. Not so awed over the lightning.

VERY interesting concept!! This looks REALLY cool. The lighting is perhaps a bit harsh, which detracts a bit from the really cool colors you've created with the spoons.

Interesting lighting and repeating pattern. The yellow and teal colors don't seem to go together very well. If it was teal/purple, or teal/blue, I think the shot would be a little more visually pleasing.

Huh?

The lighting and angle of the shot, plus the overblown highlights and stromg colours make this a difficult picture to look at. There isn't anything to focus on.
