interesting idea, but probably a bit too abstract for most people to appreciate in the context of a challenge...

This seems more like a physics experiment to me :) But hey, that can be cool too!

is this a picture of a plucked string? very creative interpretation, and it makes for a highly conceptual photo, a photo of sound. 7

When you consider the title it's somewhat interesting technically to see the stopped motion of the vibrating strings, but as a picture on it's own I'm afraid there's really not much to draw in the viewer, especially when you consider how dark and indistinct it is. You really have to look hard to see more than the highlights on the strings.

If I didn't see the title and know what it was, I would be confused by this pict. I can't see enough of the subject.

Hmmm...not really getting it. The title tells me what this is, but it's blurry and noisy. Sorry.
