What I like about this image is how the lines are so delicate and curled. They remind me of the illustrations of the flagella of bacteria from my college microbiology class. The lines are reaching inward in a brief pause, perhaps, before they snap back into action.

When I was capturing this image, I remember having some difficulty making something that I liked. Only a couple of images seemed interesting, and although I think I may have passed over this image when I shot it, I liked it when I was in the editing phase. Crafting the final image did not take a great deal of work, but it did require some finishing touches. Starting with a good exposure, I made a small adjustment in the brightness of the lines, removed a faint unnecessary line, and biased the color to a green-blue hue.

Here are technical details of the photo:
