While preparing my dinner this evening I set the table for some of my homemade cheddar soup. When I sat down to eat, I realized I had 2 forks and no spoon. Rather than fetching a spoon I grabbed my camera first. No special lighting. A tripod was used with the flash set to incandescent. The soup was delicious!

A lovely shot overall, the cropping is very well done and the composition is also well done.
It took me a moment to realize what the error in the shot was, the forks instead of spoons. As for meeting the challenge, it's a long shot for me. I don't see a real conflict per say, just an error in place settings, I guess that would be a conflict of manners? Hence the title.
The shot seems a bit grainy and under exposed to me. The sharpness is also wanting a bit. A bit more contrast and lighting would really help this shot. The tablecloth goes well with the overall shot and is not distracting despite the lovely pattern.
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

I really like the concept here but the lighting really needs some improvement. The photo is divided into bottom/top light and dark areas. Also, I think the colors could be spruced up some...maybe a tomato soup in the plate instead of that bland looking apple sauce?
IMHO I don't think that having the lower part of this picture dark helps at all. Also, I really do not see any conflict here...maybe it's because I don't understand the title. This isn't really interesting to me, no offense, it's just MHO.
This photo looks like you were shooting thru some kind of haze. Maybe bumping the contrast up just a little would solve that. The crop is a little tight as well.
Okay, I was going to say that this wasn't a conflict photo until I noticed the two forks, subtle and brilliant idea! The only problem I have with this shot now is that it needs a little more contrast. A clever idea nonetheless! Score :5 Nicely done and good luck!
nice pic, but (for me) does not fit the challenge well - it doesn't say 'conflict' without an explanation. Show the pic to strangers, and say nothing. Ask "What is the first thing that comes to mind?" or even 'What is the conflict in this image?' and let me know if anyone gets it.
