 This was another fun challenge to set up. I have been wanting to use some of my Slinkies for a long time. I also used my new amazing bending colored pencils as leading lines with three Slinkies.

I placed a small slinky inside a larger one and then arched them. I then placed a smaller slinky in front of the larger curved/arched one. I then used my new bending color pencils to form neon-like roads around the slinkies.

This was fun to do, as when I finished setting it all up, it reminded me of a Neon Highway.

Enjoy.....

Pretty arrangement, Shez. I think it suffered from not having the lines leading anywhere in particular.

I didn't vote much of this challenge but did look through it and thought "I bet this is the work of Sherpet!" It very much has your colorful, well organized style. And you have some of the most interesting items to photograph of anyone I know - love those bendy pencils! Very nicely done.

I love looking at your creative set-ups. Those bendy neon pencils are cool. I like how you used the slinkies to kind of create an archway for the pencils.

Colors seem a little muted/washed out. Nice composition.

Great idea, I love the colours, only minor comment is I'd have used a slightly smaller aperture to gain a larger dof to everything in focus

This is a fun photo, I like the colors and the idea. The curves of the pencils are really interesting, Watch the lighting on the right side as there are some areas of the pencils that are over exposed. A bit larger DOF would have given you more detail in the erasers in the foreground.
