Here is my very first attempt at spinning yo, it needs work but for an on the fly shot I feel ok with it (especially being that I took it with my iPhone). I like how the flash interacted with the proton, but I guess the real question is what do you folks think? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/e/f/7efe686e74989d817abcde3aae01e661676fe7a0.jpeg) ---

😃 The first pic actually looks like it has bent fingers…like it’s actually pressing keys. The hat belongs to one of my RUN DMC figures. The piano belongs to my Shcroeder from Charlie Brown figure. It took a lot of work to balance that hat on the round yo-yo. I should have tied a second string around it and given it two hands. 😃 ---

By the way, catching natural sunlight from the window was awesome. Nice job. 🙂 thanks! The background on the first pic is a hand drawn picture, on a white binder. The black is a really big piece of black paper with some sort of coating. It gives a cool lighting effect The whit is simply a big piece of paper. But with the right light, and shutter adjustment, they work really well IMO. And I love the yoyo in a hat! And the piano! Good job on them! ---

I make the little people as a key chain, and figured it look good throwing a yoyo. Same deal with the frog. And the pop star is really cool. Before I got it I knew nothing about it!
