Great shot. Nicely composed. One thing I wasn't sure of is whether you were conveying something in this picture as I didn't get it if you were. I'd be interested to know.
Definitely meets the challenge, and in very nice fashion. The title, however, is quite pun-ishing. The lighting is a bit weird to me - i can't quite put my finger on it, but it may be that I'm used to silver paper clips, and either the lighting or clips themselves are bronze/copper colored. I see also that you took the time to connect all of these clips.
