This was taken using my home made light box...agian :)
The light comes from everywere, sides, bottom and top. I changed it to mono colour and added the blue colour to it. Levels. Added border resized and there we are.

This is a cool shot...very original! You might consider resizing a pic to 640 pixels on your longest edge so that you submit the biggest picture possible to let viewers really see the image!
I'm sure the size has been mentioned. I think a little more depth of field to see the whole rope would have helped. I do like the color shift/lighting of the shot.
