I hope you like the title!
Yes, it’s just a Slinky, the toy that was given a new lease of life with the Toy Story movies. But the contours and colours (and the central archway) had me thinking ….
The only other time I’ve photographed a Slinky, the reaction to it was overwhelming. You can see that image on RedBubble, called Heart To Heart.
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/4 sec, ISO 800, focal length 108mm.

Ahhhh, great pun, but an even cooler shot! Used to love my Slinky years ago, and it was only a dull metal hue. Good one, David. I’m still grinning at your title.
Thanks very much, Jan. I’m glad you liked the outrageous pun! This is the first slinky I’ve seen with a multi-coloured sheen!

I can imagine this as a burlesque set and Sally Rand sidling through that archway!
I hope Hollywood is listening and that Sally is practising the limbo!

Glad you like the title, Shulie. And yes, I couldn’t resist those colours.

Stunning shot, as always!

What a fabulous eye you have!
Thank you, Maggie. That’s so kind of you. I like to discover things, and that extends to my photography, I guess. It’s also the way I approach the writing of my novels, too.
