Silver alien: Fork & Spoon
Posted by Mirko Herzner (Mühlheim am Main, Germany) on 29 July 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
One of those rainy sundays in my kitchen... A strange sound and there it was: a metalic alien! Before running for my life I managed to shoot this picture...
Tomorrow's picture will feature Budapest's catacombs. Stay tuned.

Really cool! For a second I couldn't quite piece it together, but then -- aha! Very clever and I think the red really makes it all the more effective. Nice work.

Sharon from Brooklyn, United States
Nice take on the sometimes "overdone" fork shot! I love it. Great choice of red as well.

@Sharon: Thanks for your comment, Sharon. So you think this kind of shot is 'overdone'? Actually I only saw it once before... Happy you like it anyway ;-)

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Excellent, Mirko. It's not just the way you show the spoon and fork, here. The lighting, background and overall composition is so well done, too.
29 Jul 2008 1:52pm
@Andrew Gould: Thanks again, Andrew! I am quite content with this picture, too. I have no studio equipment at all so everything was very much improvisational...
Ana Lúcia from Leiria, Portugal
Very creative. And love he red and the reflections.

@Ana Lúcia: Thanks a lot, Ana!
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
You are very imaginative and creative. The photo surprises us with the angle that makes it strange. I like the simplicity and also this red background.
29 Jul 2008 4:49pm
@Paco Díaz: Thanks a lot, Paco! I have to admit that I saw a similar photo somewhere and wanted to have my own version of it. So it is not really my creativity here... ;-)

Isao from isère, France
j'adore l'idée et la réalisation : le genre "tout bête" que j'aimerais avoir fait ! BRAVO !!!
(la surexposition en haut à droite dans le fond, est un peu gênante !?!)
I love the idea and the realization [/ b]: gender "any beast" that I have done ! BRAVO !
(overexposure in the upper right in the background, is a little embarrassing !?!)[/ i]

@Isao: Thanks for your honest feedback, Isao! I appreciate your view!
Brian from Seattle, United States
Very creative shot, love the composition and the red backdrop.
2 Aug 2008 5:08am
@Brian: Thanks so much, Brian!
@Daryl: Thanks!
Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
A good idea, different from others... I like the red background and this beautiful reflection, but I agree with Isao for the over exposure at the top right ( probably the flash not diffused... but it's just a small detail)
Congratulations for the spotlight.
Another similar theme in B&W here
2 Aug 2008 10:01pm
@Francesc B.: Thanks a lot for your visit and the link. The overexposure must be from my desk lamp as I did not fire my flash. Thanks for your honest comment!
@shahab: Thanks, shahab!

This image is disturbing grace in the reflection and the search for the composition is really remarkable.
