Thanks for the votes and comments. And the ribbon!!!
After racking my brain for an idea for this challenge, I came up with the idea of pinning some sheets of paper together. Not very original, I know ;-) I ended up cutting three small strips of paper and curving them by pulling the blade of a pair of scissors over each one (hope you know what I’m talking about). One of the strips curved too much so I put it to the front and pinned the strips together with the pin. I like the look of it, especially the colors and left it at that. I took loads of pictures at every angle under the sun. This was the one I liked the best.
steefmcbeef commented that it looked like a dolphin. I hadn’t noticed that at all before but when I checked, I saw the dolphin straight away. After that I could see nothing BUT the dolphin every time I looked at it ;-)
Thanks again, this has been a very good week for me and I’m over the moon about it.

Thanks, Harvey. However, I have no experience in graphic design, I do it the way I feel it.

When I have to rack my brain to come up with an idea, I usually end up the week with a bunch of way below par tries and photos that turn out cheesy and unsubmittable. You are the bomb, Irene! Congratulations once again :)
Congrats Irene! Your are on fire! By the way I think you might be also getting another ribbon in the 'Not Quite Right' contest :) My wife and I have a hunch which one is yours :) Congrats again! Wicked reflection and wicked setup up! Do you ever struggle with the light setup? The shadows? People say that's easy ... ya right try that exact light setup! Keep them coming!
Always a treat to see your work on the front page. Thanks for taking the time to peek at mine and comment after the challenge - it really motivates me to do better when I think a heavy hitter is watching ;)
Irene , big congrats. Did not vote this challenge , but I did see this shot and my first thought was Irenem then I looked more and thought the lighting was just a tad harsh for an Irenem shot. Hey no worries , still did great , congrats again!!
Awesome, clean image as usual Irene. Very creative abstract with great colors and lighting. Now all I see is a dolphin also! Congratulations on the ribbon!
Technically a stick pin, but who cares...Simple and elegant - this should be a solid contender for a ribbon. One minor issue is the small white light bloom on the pin head, but that is so picky, it's ridiculous. Well done.
