This was harder than I thought. I set the camera's timer so I had 10 seconds to spin two tops and hoped they stay aligned diagonally. This was the best I could do. The shadows are intented. I used a neon yellow bristol board, 3 spin tops 1-1/2 inch in diameter, 1 inch in height.
Lens: Sigma 28-200mm at 200mm focal length, two 250W lights, a tripod.
Shot in raw mode. Adjustments made in Photoshop CS, converted to TIFF and Saved for Web in JPEG.
Post-processing: rotated, cropped, resized, color adjustments, levels adjustments, healing brush to touch up dust and spots, USM, border added.

| It was an original idea. The colours are fantastic, and the composition is good, too. Perhpas, the pink spins are out of focus, I´d prefer to see it in focus, and the blue spin out of focus. But, it´s just my opinion. 6 |

| I like the colors and the contrast of one top down and two spinning. The choice of colors highlights the differences. Very nice. |

| Good DOF, like the idea of having a different coloured spinning top just sitting there. |
