Now this is different but very well done. Great title as well. #535486Stanley J. Contrades May 13, 2004
Thank you, Nancy and Darren, and I am happy that both of you like it!! The lighting consisted of a halogen shining to the ceiling, a 100W shining toward and over the camera while I held a white board to reflect the light, and side and front door daylight! There was too much glare over the fork so I just kept trying!!Terry R. Hatfield May 13, 2004
Very Good Still Life Image Stanley!! Your Setup The Colors And The Title Wrap This Up In A Nice Package!! #536149June Jiang May 13, 2004
Stan, neat idea and great composition. It reminds me of Japanese art somehow. I'd say chopsticks win over fork, at least in my house :) #536440Stanley J. Contrades May 13, 2004

I am new to BP (been here only a week) and I am surely among so many talented folks here. I hope you will come take a peek at my little gallery and tell me what you think! Good or bad. I'm ready for feedback! Thanks lots and ALOHA back to you! -Laura Swan #5419894Stanley J. Contrades July 01, 2008
