Gosh, I don't do so good at editing. The background here was a tannish color. I had 3 layers. The spaghetti, the fork and the background. I made the background solid white, shined up the fork and made the spaghetti a nice sauce color.
I saw a photo similar to this in Mancino's Italian eatery. I've always wanted to try it, and did. The difference is that the photo in the resteraunt is rotated so that the fork is pointing upward, and the spaghetti 'hangs' horizontally, which doesn't really make sense to me, so I left it like this. I just adjusted contrast, brightness, shadows/highlights in each layer, and then cloned a couple spots around the edge of the spaghetti. Simple stuff, but difficult for me.

Yes, it is a Silver fork. The ones you only bring out on Christmas. And of course to take photos for challenges. lol Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.
This photo is well thought out, the crop of the fork with spaghetti on it is excellently done. You put just enough on the fork that it didn't take away from it and wound the spaghetti so it looks very well.
The colours look a touch off on the fork. Was it a silver fork? or a stainless steel one? The flatness of it is the only thing I can see that needs improving. Maybe darkening it a touch (not much) would help that. Its possible though if its a Silver fork that this is exactly how it looked.
This photo would easily be sold as stock, and I can see it in a menu or advertisement for a Fine Italian Restaurant.
