Taken outside, late afternoon. Forgot to change the WB on the camera from Shade to Auto or Daylight - DOH!
Wahooo - PB for me! :) (5/8/07)
You have no idea how hard it was to keep that slinky from moving on the red plastic when the breeze blew, lol. This was the best allignment nature would allow me :P

Woo Hoo! That's my shipmate! :)
I was one of your 19 eights (8's) (alignment & crop a wee off for me otherwise a 10)
You rock, Lady! Way to go on the PB
My first reaction to this image was, "Cool! A Slinky!" ('cause I like Slinkys!)
My second reaction was, "Cool! It's bergiekat's image!" ('cause I like Kat!)
What a fun study in light and shadow! I like the way the shadow becomes the main subject by filling the upper third of the image. The symmetry in the image works in more than one direction--across the middle of the Slinky both horizontally and vertically, and again the Slinky and its shadow. The composition describes the 3-D nature of the subject so well.
I also like how well the individual coils of the slinky are defined by light...nothing blown out, everything in focus. The only thing that bothers me a little is the clipping of the ends of the Slinky...I'd like to see the theme of circles and curves completed at the edges of the frame.
Overall it's a playful image that fits the challenge well and was well received by the voters. Not much to quibble with here!
way to go Kat! It is a thrill to be right next to you on the results page! And I loved this shot during the challenge! Great! and CONGRATS on the new PB!
Very cool idea! Next time, align everything perfectly (especially the slinky on the line and the light source perpendicular to the line) and you'll get a 10 from me :P now it's an 8
