Took this in my room. Stole two forks from the kitchen and painted one white and the other one darkblue because I had no black. Used a single light source. Bowen Trilite daylight lamp. There will probably be 100 or more black/white shots :)

Sorry, but the paint on the white fork is really unappetizing. It would have been worth your time to run to the corner store and get a real white plastic fork for this idea.

Very nice arty shot. Strikingly obvious opposites and a well executed photo. Well done

cute and well done.

Simple and effective. This is one of several that used the black/white technique with eating utensils or something similar. Since yours is divided exactly in half and not placed in a diagonal composition, it is not as dynamic as some. The thin white line on the border is a bit unusual - showing only on the handle of the black fork.

Very nice frame and overall composition. Good use of contrast / neat image to deliver a very clean image. An 8.

it looks like forks arent sitting level, and the glare could go, but very nice picture and contrast

Nice. I've done one similar, but I didn't enter the challenge. Good luck. Nice, simple, clear.

Is the opposite in this the color? I might have used a spoon and a fork instead of two forks...but that's me. I wish the forks were more symmetrically placed.

I like your idea. Excellent for the challenge. I do wonder why all the negative space on the sides and the bottom of the forks are cut off? Just seems an odd way to crop this.........? Good luck in the challenge.

Haha! Simple and amusing. I like it :) I gave you an 8.

nice

Good composition. Clever. The borders detract from the smoothness of the transition from white to black.

Beautiful. Should definitly be top 10!

I really like this, definately meets the challenge 100%. Great white balance, the contrast between them is perfect. Only thing I would have liked to have seen different was that there is a reflection on the black fork? A wee bit destracting. Well done!!
