First, I'd like to thank the Academy... (oops! Wrong acceptance speech!)

Seriously, I'm thrilled to have the top shot of the week -- how exciting!! Thanks to everyone who left some really good comments on how I could have improved this further. I really like the idea of using a nice steel can as a couple people had suggested, and John is right about the fact that the can itself is a little brighter than it should be in spots.

This was a lot of fun (and work!) to put together, and I've learned quite a bit from the experience of doing this shot, as well as from the comments it received.

Since some folks had asked for a more detailed description of how this was executed, I put a page together to describe it in more detail: //www.thefreeds.com/swish

Again, many thanks to all!
