Blimey Mouldy, you must have huge tealights in your house. You sure the curtains hadn't caught fire as well? <g>

Seriously, it is a good idea and I can see where you are going with the shadow and the diagonal positioning. I'm afraid for me the surface texture of the fork has got lost in the darkness and I can't tell whether this is a chrome fork or a black plastic one. I am pretty sure it is a stainless steel one but the fact remains it is not pin sharp and the detail is not strong enough to really grab my attnetion. It is possible that the original was pretty dark and you have lightened it up a long way as there is a lot of noise artefacts in the shadows, particular the penumbral areas.

I think you should do some more and focus on getting it razor sharp as well as enough light to show up the surface, be it brushed chrome or whatever.

Cheers,
Rob
