This shot was taken in an alley right at the beginning of the golden hour. It was shot with a wide open aperture on a prime 50mm to help isolate the curvature of the pipes.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Good attempt at meeting the challenge. The tilted horizon adds some dynamism to the shot of a relatively drab subject and I like the leading lines. However, while shooting wide open will give you speed, it will not give you dof, and here the dof seems to have missed the bulk of the curved sections of pipe. Indeed, more of the straight sections and joins seem to be in focus. Once again, I find your ISO to be far too low, and feel that you really need a tripod if you want to do macros. You don't need a $300 Manfrotto at this point, even a $30 Giotto should be more than enough. But shooting fast, handheld and wide-open is generally not the best combination.

Feel free to PM me,

Susan

Thanks for the comments guys. @Tiny - Actually, I was thinking that the straight bits can be twisted with the right wrench. :)

All twisted except the straight bits.

Nice lines and DOF.
