Nicely done. Congrats on the Ribbon!!!!! For those interested mine was shot on a smith victor shooting stage with seamless white plexi. Really nice stuff. Flashing behind it gives some nice 'sunspot' lighitng.
Again, congrats!!! |

The setup is pretty straight-forward:
-Forks and egg on edge of the table on a glass plate (tried to get some reflections, but that didn't work out too well)
-One SB-900 really close in front and below on 1/128 power
-One SB-600 behind lighting the wall on 1/32 power (I think)
You can see the SB-900 on the original:

Congrats on the Ribbon Hans
Whilst this shot has been done before don't let the comments get you down, the voters still placed it where it is. There's very few original works on this site anymore anyway. |

The problem with copying someone else's shot is you need to meet or exceed the original otherwise you're doomed to the inevitable comparision. Unfortunately, since this one doesn't have the originality/creativity associated with it your technicals needed to be better just to break even, which is why it's better to just try out something new. It's that whole risk/reward thing, which you're avoiding here.
That said, I understand people try to recreate a photo just to learn but bare in mind that as a voter I must consider more than just the technicals, which is all you have focused on here so you lose a lot in the voting from me. |

| This is fun. I like the arrangement of objects and the overall composition. The heavy side borders is becoming an item when it shouldn't be. This would have really popped with a simple single white pixel with 5-10 pixels of black outside the white. |
