Sheila,

A good try of a tricky shot, but I think there is a little too much harsh light in parts of this image. Because they are made of metal they tend to reflect a lot, and you have to be very careful about how you light it. What do you use for reflective surface? I tried a mirror but it gave abberations. Black metal is best if you can find something suitable. Nice try.

If you want to see my slinky shots they are on my website (images 11, and 22) under art/abstract.

EDIT - sorry, just seen that you used a mirror!
