366 Days Of 2012, Day 11 - Poly

I noticed a large coil of irrigation hose propped against a wall which which might make an interesting subject. I tried and tried but could not frame a shot I found pleasing in its entirety. However when I got really close, no longer was it a coil of poly pipe but presented a beautiful combination of curve and tone. In the end it was as simple as framing the shot so it felt elegant and using a tight depth of field to push much of the pipe itself into negative space.
