This was harder than I thought. I set the camera's timer so I had 10 seconds to spin two tops and hoped they stay aligned diagonally. This was the best I could do. The shadows are intented. I used a neon yellow bristol board, 3 spin tops 1-1/2 inch in diameter, 1 inch in height.
Lens: Sigma 28-200mm at 200mm focal length, two 250W lights, a tripod.
Shot in raw mode. Adjustments made in Photoshop CS, converted to TIFF and Saved for Web in JPEG.
Post-processing: rotated, cropped, resized, color adjustments, levels adjustments, healing brush to touch up dust and spots, USM, border added.

It was an original idea. The colours are fantastic, and the composition is good, too. Perhpas, the pink spins are out of focus, I´d prefer to see it in focus, and the blue spin out of focus. But, it´s just my opinion. 6
