a rock/paper/scissors sculpture, backlit with a halogen desktop lamp and an additional halogen light with a paper snoot illuminating the rocks. I would have liked to have removed the lines in the back behind the plate, but no spot editting allowed - doh!

I like the lighting. It's a little unsettling to me that the lines of the fan converge at a slightly different point than the scissors, but other than that it's a very pleasing picture. Captures a feeling of serenity and simplicity.
I've only been in this group for a few months and I've never scored a photo as a perfect "10"... until this one. Outstanding job and a breathtakingly beautiful photograph. Well done & congratulations - I'll be extremely surprised if you don't win. :-)
Very nice! I think if the loops of the handles were touching all the way across and that slight reflection on the left hand pair of scissors was removed (at the crotch; I love the reflections on the loops and the rivets) , it may have looked a little better. Also in the backgound you can see a thin white line that takes away ever so slightly from the beauty of this shot. Great picture though. Very creative.
