 It's not.

The quickest challenge shot I've done yet.

Arranged the rope on a black piece of cardboard on the floor.

Lit with two fluorescent lights on stands.

Set the camera on a tripod with one leg longer than the other two so it leaned out directly over the rope. Set the timer and pushed the button, then held down the leg of the leaning tripod so it wouldn't fall over. It stabilized by the time the shutter snapped.

Cropped, adjusted curves, sharpened.

Great stuff! I love the graphic quality to this shot and even though there is no real pattern to the rope you still seem to have got the composition right, it just seems kind of balanced. Great colour too, good luck

That's a great question. I stared at it for a while, then my eyes went sideways. My guess is not. Very cool idea. It looks neat, and it's a little puzzle!

This shot tickled me. It's a mind boggling shot!
Good creativety..

Seemed like a simple shot, but the control of lighting is amazing... Looks even.

The only thing I have against this shot is the impact. so it'll be a 7 for me.
