 Shooting for this challenge was a marathon effort. I had ideas (which is usually where I have the problems) but nothing was working out like I wanted. One of my DPC Olympics team-mates gave me their "backup" idea as their shot had turned out ok. The "backup" idea was to be inspiried by Melethia's Forked shot:

This is the result of that inspiration. I'm not 100% happy with the result - the focus would be better on the tips of the forks and other nitpicks like that. It's late and I have an early start in the morning so this is the entry...

I really liked this shot. I was wrong about my prediction but all the same, congrats on your top 20 finish.

This will be top 10 for sure. Very nice look you've achieved here. The soft lighting accentuating the metallic curves is beautiful. The reflections being oof is nice too. 10

The lighting and reflections are so well managed. A nitpick is that the fork at the right 'looks' farther off from the rest of the 2. The reflection does show them spaced equally, but the actual objects do not seem so. It only breaks the smmetry, that's all
