I went looking through the archives for abandoned images and found this. Clearly I was taken with it at the time - 🤔 🤣

Nice idea and a good illustration of abandonment. What if you cropped some off the right and bottom so that the fork was more on the lower right third line rather than centered? There seems to be a lot of empty space in the lower right corner.

Thanks, @Chris_Baird. Yes, there is a lot of space on the lower right. I just couldn’t decide where to put the fork.

Bonnie, I’m enjoying the touches of whimsy and irony here. Well seen.
