YEA, new PB!

I knew I wanted a particular shape for the rope, so I threaded a piece of heavy copper wire (grounding wire) up through the center to create something like a giant pipe cleaner. I then shaped the rope and suspended it from a thread to get the shot. 1 Flash 1/4 power to create the back light and 1 flash 1/16 power to provide fill.

Thanks for the votes!

lol for some reason this makes me think of a really old and awful joke:

A piece of string walks into a bar, and the barman says "sorry, we don't serve string in here". The string leaves, and ties himself in a knot before returning later. The barman says "I sure I spoke to you before. I can't serve you. Aren't you a piece of string?". The string replies "No, I'm a frayed knot."

Lol sorry to make you groan with that. Great shot btw. I'm trying to work out which way you up you must have shot it?
