 A collection of old wooden spools of thread. These wooden spools are at least 40 years old. I used a hand made rug that was given to me as a background and set the thread on plexiglass which was placed ontop of black foam board. I used two tungsten 100 watt light bulbs.

the tilted one on the top right corner adds a sense of "life" into the picture, very nice. 8

This is kinda neat, but the background fabric has similar colors, which distracts from the subject spools. I love the metallic look of new thread.

i think the stripes in the back are disracting. I like the colorfulness of the threads. So many pics for this challange not only dont go with the theme but are dreadfully boring in color. nice job.

I think this would have looked better with a solid background. I also think the whole bottom left spool should be included or crop off part of the lower right one.

I like the background for this as it has the same colours in it but the picture feels a bit out of balance because of the lack of space next to the last roll on the left. well done though!

Very nice colour and reflection, i'd love to see the photo a bit sharper.

Oh, I like. The titled one at the top is a good idea, adds a lot of interest.
