Duncan's Return

...the repeating saga of a little red Yo-Yo :)

This Yo-Yo is backlit thru frosted glass with a desk lamp, trying to bring most
of the attention to the Yo-Yo's color and detail. I also wanted to try portraying
the Yo-Yo as "returning to the hand that released it"; so, the lighting was also
helpful in getting a silhouette outline on the fingers and string. It was fun to do :)

Best viewed in "original" size.

I like this image, Mike. You created a nice silhouette with your fingers and the yo yo, by virtue of the back / side lighting. Mark J

Great picture of a yo-yo MFC, I love the pattern of light and shadow in the transparent red yo-yo. (Yo-yo's are fun!) Melanie (mlynn)
