Not much to this shot. Kinda boring subject so the lighting had to be somewhat interesting. I think I accomplished ot my liking.
Did just a tad bit of cloning to get out the shadows cast by a nearby window. A bit of sharpening & depspeckling, followed by a simple border & resizing.

I'm a sucker for metallic textures, and you've rendered them very nicely here. The diagonal composition geves the shot a more dramatic effect that a simple fork and knife would normally offer.
Incredible lighting effects make the utensils appear to glow (or maybe it's just some dodging effects that are responsible). The reflections of the tines in the knife make the fork look complete. I wish that more of the subject was in focus.
