The only PP was cleaning up dust, smoothing out some imperfections in the glass, a slight hue change to the background colour and some desaturation to the fork. A little manual dodging and burning helped make it look more dynamic.

The reflection is as it was - I used a thin piece of picture glass, balanced on two books, with some coloured mount board acting as the base and backdrop. The fork was just rested on the glass. Lighting came from a single LED source diffused through some paper. It was all a single exposure, but with the light source moved a little during the 15 seconds - the fork 'flashed' with a single wave of the undiffused torch near the end of the exposure.
