 I stuck my camera in one end of a wrapping paper tube, and a ribbon printed on transparency paper at the other end. One bright work light was shining behind it, diffused slightly with a folded-up plastic shopping bag.

Shot in RAW: adjusted white balance to create the blue 1st placeness hue.

This picture simultaneously satirizes DPC and the Levantine religions. Well done! Oh, and it made me laugh. 8

hehe, sweet ;) the ribbon itself is a bit strange-colored, might need a bit more contrast

very good and very amusing, I really like this, I thought about the light myself but to have a ribbon at the end is very fitting
