Last minute entry. No time for a description!
Well, several edits later, maybe I do have time for a quick description. For anyone that doesn't get it, this is a Ukelele, not a violin. Ah, my score will tell if people get it or not. I wanted to shoot this with a really wide lens for more distortion, but I don't have one, so 18mm had to do. I got a very sore neck posing for this one, and had many frustrating attempts at posing myself with the small frame. Finally my wife came to my rescue, and I instructed her what I wanted where in the frame and she did the good ol' "up a bit, no down, now over" got the focus right and pressed the shutter for me. Thanks honey!
The bow tie and the violin bow were borrowed from friends. Thanks Matt and Helen. :)
I had to enter this, because there were hardly any entries in this challenge, but the number has grown overnight. Ah well. Here goes nothing... :)

| Excellent. Ukelele strings, eye line, forehead wrinkles and tougue recenter the gaze as the eye hurries to return from the bow line. The viewer's visual struggle makes a madcap result well suited to the title, subject's expression, and the mismatched instrument and bow. |
