Pick some Pizzicato
I Love Rock 'n' Roll, and Beethoven, too :)

Literally a last minute idea which I had this morning upon waking up. Otherwise I'd have skipped, because I didn't simply want to use a random object that didn't match with four other random objects, and I also couldn't think of anything that would actually make sense as a true "misfit". But this morning, it hit me, sort of. I've watched the "The Runaways" movie just the other day, so the music is still going around in my head, and all of a sudden I thought "Why not use a guitar pick with my violin?" You don't strum a violin, and even if it's required that you play pizzicato, you won't do that with a pick, you use your fingers. And I've also always preferred Rock music of all sorts over classical music (not that I don't like the latter, but... Rock music is where the fun is, at least for me).
Now I don't play guitar, but, luckily, a guitar pick, among other things, came as a givaway with Juliana Hatfield's latest record "Blood", so I could use that (the pick is 3 cm / 1,18 inches long, and the width of the image is 4,5 cm / 1,77 inches).
The photo itself was done very quickly, kind of my version of a three chord / three minute Rock song ;) While my usual photographic approach, at least when it comes to MMs, is more like an album-long Prog "suite", doing this, trying that, I didn't bother with focus stacking or any other complicated technique or setups this time, a few shots (four in total) had to do of which this was the best. OK, so this is my version of a four minute Rock song. I hope you like it :)
Happy Macro Monday, Everyone, have a nice week ahead, and stay safe!
