Early day's I know, but with little time left as we are off on a holiday in 4 days I have to apply the grey matter to this challenge Quite soon.
Came up with this idea, based on the opposites knives & forks. Needs some work and I have a few ideas to implement, but what does anyone think of the direction with the idea?

Thanks for your feedback. I have edited the original post with updated and entry valid shots. With only very limited time left till holiday I would welcome any feedback from anyone. Good or bad, lay it on... :D

Most of the shots are coming out grainy, lots of noise. I'm hand holding these shots as no tripod. Suspending the knives over the forks (which isn't easy!!) on a dark background with natural lighting. Do you think it detracts from them or do you think it compliments these kind of shots. No matter what I seem to try I get this.

I think it's a great idea for opposites. I'm liking #3. Love the contrast and the fading image sequence. If it was my entry, I would rotate it clockwise 90 degrees making the left edge prominent and drawing the eye down into the right corner; this diagonal movement being the most powerful (for people who read left to right and down). Then, as a bonus, the viewer's eye retraces the path back to the brighter left edge. This is my own feeling about its presentation. I think your image has impact and stands on its own no matter which way it is oriented.
