An long time ago a friend of mine, during a discussion on art works, dismissed photography as being too compositional.
I argued that there is so much more to photography, such as timelessness, color, shades, etc...
We agreed to disagree, and later I was able to convince him photography can be much more than composition.

So for challenge #80, the theme is "Curves"
Examples would be roads, pathways, plants, people, balls, balloons... the list is endless.
Something that is not just compositional, but also contains some subtlety!


The standard rules apply:

As usual, this Challenge will consider originality, technical merit and artistic vision.
No change to the tried and trusted rules, which are as follows:
  1. Either take pictures that match the nominated theme or select one from your portfolio. You must be the photographer that created the image in order to enter it.
  2. Only one entry per challenge, please. If you want to withdraw an entry and replace it with another, that is OK, but you must make it clear in the post containing your replacement picture that this is what you've done. You can add or change the title and add to the edit line to let everyone know.
  3. The decision of the curator at the end of the challenge is final - don't give him/her a hard time about it: this is just a friendly photo challenge, after all!
  4. The winner will assume the responsibility of curator for the next Challenge, and as soon as possible post a message in a new thread in the Cameraderie Photo Challenges forum, with details of the new theme. Don't forget - the opening message must include a copy of these instructions, which also double as the rules.
  5. The curator cannot enter in his/her/their own challenge.

This challenge will run until 4/30/2025.

As a guide for the challenge. Here are just a few examples of some photos that meet the theme:

So I was going through some photos that I thought might qualify but a few were "coils" and not "curves". Looked it up and there is a difference. And those that I found that were actual curves weren't too subtle. (sigh)
I am not sure what type of coil that you are referring to, most coils have some curves. As to subtlety that is a somewhat subjective. I am open to interpretations if it is an interesting photo.
