Awesome "still" life, Bill ... the lighting and DOF are terrific. From the thumbnail, I thought these were handcuffs and that you were experimenting with something new ;) #4965554

Wally and I have the same sort of thought patterns, I guess. That's exactly what came into my mind when I saw this!
Anyway, I like it a lot. Very different! #4965693

Wonderful image Bill! I love the autumn colors reflecting in the rings, the narrow DOF and the specularity of the sun spots. Well done!! When I was a kid they hung from a circular device and were called monkey rings because we would swing from ring to ring and make our way around the cicle of rings--thanks for the memories :0) #4966296

Wonderfully-composed shot, Bill! Great DOF and lighting for effect. When I first saw the thumbnail, I also thought they were handcuffs. #4967177

I didn't know what they were, but I love the shallow depth of field. Makes the line of the rings seem endless. #4968313
