Fork and Bowl

Taken on Kodalith Ortho 2556, using a Leica M4-2 and 40mmF1.2 Nokton

I like this. I like the grain and the blackness of the fork. If the curve of the shadow matched the curve of the fork, it would be perfect.

I really really like it! But I kind of wish the fork was metal and not plastic

The weak secondary light source isn't working for me. The second shadows are just confusing.

I find it a nice enough composition, very formal. Is this a study or a test for something else, or is this intended as the final image?

Your negative appears to be quite dirty, and I am surprised by the tonality given the use of ortho film here. Well done, I think?

The fork is metal, down to type of film used

There is no secondary light, shot it pitch black room with snoot on studio light just using modeling light, this film expired 29 years ago i shot it at iso 8 and developed it in Rodinal 1+200 for 12.5 minutes ( developement is trial and error )
its my take on a very famous photograph

Well, there's a second shadow for the fork. Perhaps it's from a reflection? In any case, I think the image would be stronger without it.
