I am all for simplicity. E301's pic is one of my favorites on the site. This is my humble attempt at the same idea. Hope it does well :)

Lighting not done well as compared to the original. I think the photograph by itself is great, but being deja vu challenge, I have to compare with the original :)

very clean and serene. a little more dynamic range might work wonders.

this doesn't have the same movement and flow of the original- we don't see the same kind of lines here. The quality of the light in this image almost makes this feel like a snapshot.

Ha! Oh man, I have absolutely no idea how to vote on this, at all. It's a quite extraordinary feeling to see this, I can tell you - in a godd way, I assure you. I hope you'll PM me about how you set it up. As to an assessment of it ...

The one thing you've achieved here that is the kind of thing I was after in the orignal is the mad graduation of light across the curve of the spoon itself, just where the handle meets the bowl of it. Outside of that, it has a genuine simplicity that I like, but perhaps not the intensity of focus and closeness. The original is actually in a sense not lit at all - it is all reflections, rather than light falling directly on the subject - this seems directly lit, to me. Thankyou for it though, and I score you a 7.
