Fantastic submission: technically excellent, love the muted tones and monochromatic colors.

Terrific image Cat! Great concept and executed perfectly! CJ

Striking main subject, subtle background and lighting. One of my favourites so far in this challenge.

Fabulous, both the concept and realization. -Michael

Thanks very much for the detailed reply. It makes me realise that I still have an aweful lot to learn about lighting techniques. Well done again! Regards ~jnconradie

Thanks Nico, Pops, Sharon, Pedro, Lee, Pegg928 and Max!!! I am really glad that you all like this. Nico, Its lighted by a single Acute 2R Profoto D4 strobe, 1/8th power covered with stretched white muslin screen. The slinky is kept on a white cardboard. About a foot behind the slinky, is a dark blue poster paper background (not visible here) I focused the light between the slinky and the background. The light fell off as it came towards the camera, revealing a blue gradient, created by the background. Hope this helps. Sharon, Yes, I really enjoyed the coincidence. What fun! -Cat

I love this image, symmetry, balance, composition, what’s not to like. The slinky (?) floods the mind with memories of childhood past… Max

Neat image. Gave me some ideas. Well done!

Well thought out.

great...I just can't figure it out... it looks like a reflection, then I see the shadows... excellent.

Wonderful, Cat! I am glad our two "toy" shots ended up side by side, although your image is so sophisticated and beautifully done. I am impressed! ~Sharon

Cat, you always come up with such simple and elegant photos. This is great. - Pops

Splendidly done! So eye-catching, powerful graphic with strong contrasts. I like it! Regards ~jnconradie (and I look forward to learing "how to do it", for example the lighting you used?)
