 I wish I had fruit loops, but i used what I had. I'm not much of a breakfast person myself, but on the weekends I don't function well without eating at least a little something.

The setup was the hardest part. I knew the crop I wanted, but getting all the elements placed right was a pain. I had to use the overhead light in the kitchen due to lack of light, which caused glare off the spoon. So I took it and dunked it in the cereal. This forced me to leave the butter knife out of the shot, but I don't think it was needed. The only other thing this could have used was a cup of coffee, but we don't drink it in my house, so I did not have any here.

Photoshop was convert from RAW, curves, hue/sat, selective color, resize, usm, save for web. Pretty simple overall.

A more soft light may have done even better.
