I wanted to try something different for this challenge. Guitar strings, I did a few different ones but this was the best.
Since i was doing something different I thought why not title it in French. I'm Canadian so I have a semi reasonable excuse. Also it makes everything fancier. Roughly supposed to mean "The Voice of God Resonates". Got the idea from a terrific movie called Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. A psychologist said that some people's devotion to metal is almost religious as if they were hearing the voice of God. I don't quite remember, I haven't seen it in about 4 years.

A little bit of glare visible on the whatsit (bridge?) where the strings attach does tend to draw the eye. Looks like you strummed the bottom two strings, I think it adds nicely to a bokeh-ish effect. As always, there are going to be people who love or hate extreme dof. The title's quite good...and hey aren't you in the same basic area that Anvil comes from? (I'm not a metalhead but yes I've seen the movie! :-)
The 18-55 kit lens isn't a bad choice for what is essentially a macro. I am guessing you shot handheld; this would have been a good time to break out the tripod and close down the fstop and leave the shutter open. A lower ISO may have helped reduce the glare too. I would have tried a lower, and higher, pov too to add more interest to the shot as it is a bit static.
Otherwise, you finished quite well in a challenge that has all manner of unorthodox entries. Keep shooting!
Pourquoi Dieu? Pourquoi sa voix? Je ne comprends pas. C'est cet art "fine"? Je ne crois pas, mais cela ne se connecte pas avec moi, même si elle est. Désolé.
ok, here's my 2 cents...IMO the sting on the very bottom should be in total sharp focus...not the next one up...mind you I'm not saying it's a bad shot...I like it but that is where my eye want to go is the first string
