I love the silverware. Excellent use of everyday items for problem solving, as I'm sure the marbles were the spawn of the idea. Love the reflection as well.

Gorgeous composition. Great depth of focus - image is nice and crisp where it should be and the lines draw my eye right to the centre marble. I love everything about it. Fantastic capture.

Ok. I'm jealous. Jealous in that I didn't think of this first! :D This is fun, creative, simple, clean...all good ingredients for a fine challenge entry. That spoon creates the perfect leading line right to the marbles and the fork tines bounce the viewer right back to the marbles if you dare stray.

Did I mention that I like this? :D Look to see you on the front page when the voting is over. Well done!

Mmm, silverware. =) I have a silverware shot!

Very nicely done. I love the silver tones and how the marbles stand out against the monotone. I'm curious how you did the groundplane.
