6th Place: The Black Hole
by MFC

A slinky was taped to itself to make a complete slinky circle.
It was placed on a piece of black construction paper. A desk lamp
provided light overhead. Converted to B&W. "Jiggling" the image up &
down slightly with the sidebar produces a mild pulsating light effect.

My eyes are drawn into the center by the lines, and yet circles around as well because of the lighting. Very nice dynamic abstract. JoeSchmoe

VERY nice abstract, MFC! I did the same thing and, wondered how you got the circle / slinky to stay together? I used a paper clip, with mixed results... yours has almost seamless appearance. Nice work. Mark J

An absolutely excellent abstract, tranforming the slinky into a piece of visual beauty.........Vikas

During the whole of the challenge, I had to constantly remind myself about the meaning of abstract. I kept veering away, stretching the idea until it evolved into something else altogether. You've hit the nail on the head with this image. It's perfect.

Interesting shot. You had intent as Norman would say and you seem to have achieved your goal. :-) If you move it really fast up and down.....uh..Now I'm dizzy! Bill B
