I found this colorful slinky in a store and immediately knew I wanted to photograph it. I'm so glad I was able to incorporate it into the "Song" challenge. I was drawing a blank for the challenge. Then as an "aside" I just started shooting my new toy...lol Then I suddenly recalled the first song my hubbie and I danced to at our wedding and BINGO!
About the lighting...I just used natural light from a nearby window, on my porch. I have since used different backgrounds, and positions, and will soon try different lighting.

I can't tell whether the border colour isn't quite right, or it just doesn't look right against the site background. Either way, a really great shot.

Gracious --

What a great idea. This very well deserves a high ranking on the challenge.

Big question -- Is that a multi-colored slinky that you used?

Color is absolutely great. The only thing that I would disagree on is the backlighting. I'm not sure on the reddish cast.

This is one picture that didn't need to follow the rule of thirds!

I could gush, and go on and on about what this picture has. I love it so much, I am making it one of my favorites.

Congrats on your placing in this week's challenge. It was so well deserved.
