Challenge: Silverware (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Location: Chicago, IL
Date: Mar 4, 2008
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 10s
Date Uploaded: Mar 4, 2008

 The original idea was to find a fork and spoon that was sufficiently bendable, and wrap their handles around each other. Such utensils could not be acquired in time, and my married housemate would not sacrifice any of our current set to the DPC cause.

The spoon looks soft, but it did in all of the shots I took. Maybe it was too shiny for the light I was using (a LED flashlight).

Editing: crop, desat (-20), contrast (+10), lightness (+5), resize, border

This is funny! Great idea and I like how there is also the suggestion of narcissim as he looks at his reflection in her face.

LOL! How terribly sordid. I can see the tabloid headlines now.... Are you sure that woody isn't by chance a senator? You made a lot of people smile and in my book, that's a good thing. All you needed was a Motel 6 neon logo in the background, or something equally tacky.

The wooden thing is the subject. I didn't even see the spoon for a second or two.

a very good idea wasted with a not perfect realization... not a good control of the light and the shadow of woody isn't very fascinating

Haha, this one made me smile! I don't really like the glare from the spoon though, and the top seems a bit dark. Good Job though!

the lighting makes the surface/backdrop look dirty. The spoon is a bit funky too. Perhaps they could have been spooning...
