This Picture is a little different than Jan Groover's picture. We both have the same subject matter (eating utencils) but i have one less than hers. My subject matter is placed randomly just like hers. But our lighting is a little diferent. Too compensate for that I darkened the back ground to make it nearly identical. I selected the upper background and darkened it by 12 spaces. Jan Groover put her subject matter on a chrome/mirrored surface, most likely to give a different look/appeal, as well as different light directions.

**Should I have matched the background and/or subjetc matter?**
