 Just a fun shot. I thought it was a cute idea :-)
Tried to use dof and composition to put attention on the fork. I thought the piece of meat was what makes the shot :-P hehehe My buddy George is the model, with my Ovation 12 string and a regular kitchen fork. The meat is a piece of Slim Jim. I wanted to use a piece of tomato, I thought the color would work nicely, but I forgot to get a tomato earlier, and after work, I stopped at the gas station and the slim jim was the best I could come up with. Lighting was with my halogen stand shop lights and one clamp light. My black sheet for the backdrop.

in ps- cropped, usm, cloned out a couple of little dust spots, a touch of burning on the hand and nose, selective color adj, levels adj., hue/sat adj. , resized, added border, one more very slight pass of usm

thanks for checking out my pic :-)

This is really well setup and a great original idea. My only low point would be the blow out on the back of the hand! Really well done!
