Well, yesterday’s entry wasn’t particularly great, and this one really isn’t much better. I’ve had one of those weeks where everything I’ve taken just hasn’t worked. And this shot is the colourful, marginally interesting, less than wonderful result. And as it isn’t in the least bit obvious what this is, it’s the central column of a pogo-stick.
On which sorry note, I’m off to take some pictures – and, hopefully, I’ll come across something a bit more interesting that a pogo-stick and a shoe (i.e. yesterday’s entry) ;-)

Hey, it doesn't matter what you shoot. It could be that shoe, pogostick, a rock, etc., so as long as you make it look interesting. You do a good job of that 99% of the time. Great colors on this one..!
Wow! Congrat for this mavelous shot. I'm so stunned

Thanks all.
As for why I wasn't too keen on this shot: it wasn't so much that I didn't like it (it's ok), more to do with the fact that I was struggling to find something to shoot - and I hate it when that happens. I've decided to stick with the image-a-day thing as best I can, but this sometimes leaves me with very little to put up, and this was one of those occasions - it was my last shot, and I wasn't entirely happy with it, but I didn't have anything else. And I guess that colours my opinion somewhat.
Anyway, thanks for all the positive comments - I'm reassured that it wasn't too dire :-)

The colours are outstanding. You should submit this to this week's Theme Thursday. Purple.
I like it, beautiful colours. I like the symmetry - great abstract.
++ very nice colors . good abstract shot ++
~xlnt color, interesting abstract feel and look~
i do like this! red and purple: passionate and dramatic colours..even if it IS just a pogostick...:-)
It's frustrating to hear the entry is not great. I wish I could take pics like that! :)
Great colors.
honestly, i don't care that it's a pogostick. i love the colours, and the abstract nature of this shot. thanks for the inspiration!
dave -- I agree with the comments. This is really great as an abstract with wonderful colors and textures. Successful in my book.
