 Not really my earliest memory, but maybe some voters will buy it. This is mostly an image to feed my update button addiction. I do like it, though.

Ah, yes! Can you still buy that stuff? What fun it was to play with! Thanks for sharing this.

DOF seems too shallow, leaving the overall image murky, rather than highligting a focal point.

Nice idea. This really brings back memories. Such a narrow & well defined DOF is distracting to me here. I wonder what result you might have gotten by bending back the paper in symmetry with the silly putty so that only the crease between them would plunge into (or out of) the focal plane, then rotate. The overall composition has nice lines and it's fun overall.

Very neat idea. The short DOF works really well, but I find I want to tilt my head so that it's straight. Must be an odd quirk of mine!

I think the concept is unique, but the image lack its full potential.

HA! I forgot about that stuff! Glad my kids haven't discovered it. Great macro. Nice mirror images. (that stuff really was magical!)

Novel but believable take on the challenge. I feel this would benefit from a bit more DOF however.

I remember playing with that! I think it was some brighter color, and we copied the comics and stretched them just like in the ads.

I can see where you were going with this but IMO not quite enough DOF for me
