Lydia! Are you actually comparing me with that no talent tafkap? Are you saying Pops = tafkap? I feel insulted!

Is the last word 'Pops'? I'm too dense here...

I really like this one... didn't see the blurry one, though. The colors are really good. ~Lydia

Cat, you are just too funny for words. "Welcome to the challenges." LOL!

Photographing straws is like IKEA addiction only different.

Too many of you want the sharper version so I've replaced the original with it.

Nico, Nico, Nico - just do a google search for TAFKAP and then replace the final word.

Great idea and a wonderful riot of colours. I too, think that a litte bit more sharpness would be desireable.

Cheers, Vikas.

:-) By the way, I still don't "get" the tapkap name. :-)

Super idea and wonderful colours... but I am still in two minds about the blurriness... sometimes when I visit I like it... other times, I prefer the sharp version. Tough call to make!

Thanks Fly.

Kelly, things were much to sharp! The ends of the straws were too distracting. I created a layer with 50% oppacity, applied a gaussian blur to it and then erased the center of each straw to get that sharpness back. Did that make sense? I may post an unblurred version in pending.

tafkap - cool idea!!! I just wish things were a little crisper. Did you use Mirror lock-up and the timer? Both things will help to mitigate vibration. Love the colors. - Kelly
