Balance is your entry in the 'Delicate' challenge and you have landed this image fair and square in the middle.
Technical:
Using portrait format and maximum size, you have given your image a powerful punch. Focusing is spot on, had you focussed on the tines of the fork you would lost the little detail left on the fork handle and a lot of the impact would have been lost also. The background is not an even, clean colour, but that was never a part of the challenge and I think this adds to the overall image. The shadows of the tines on the inside of the glass are a little surreal. The colour of the glass is very effective.
Composition:
Great composition, the colour is fine. The tines have an almost 3D effect.
Overall:
Nothing bad about it, would like to see more. I note you do a fair bit of this type of image. Good work. I hope this helps.

Steve,
Thanks for your critique! I was hoping for a better background (needed more light), but I find it interesting that you think it adds to the shot the way it is. I notice motorcycle shots in your portfolio--do you ride? I have an '87 Honda CBR1000 Hurricane.

Nicely done! My son was trying to do this after he saw it with no luck. Great choice of color for the glass, it really works well to bring the steel color and white background together. Nice use of space.
