Nicely done. I have seen similar done at my local camera club competition for abstract. It was slightly different in that the forks didn't overlap and was from a lower angle if I recall correctly. Nicely done! Good job Gary!

Not bad for an afternoon project - this is an impressive abstract!

Wow! Nice!

Love the reflexion I am trying to see how you put the strobe, probably on the left and the reflector on the right a bit below?

Really inspiring. I think I will go right now to do some practice with local objects too. Recently I was ready an advice from a pro, to try and take 50 different pictures of a small object as a practice.

Thank you.

The main light was on the right (as you're looking at the forks), about 2' away and feathered quite a bit forward. There was a large reflector on the left, about 16" away. I had to move things a round a lot to manage the reflections, and then do some editing to clean up.
