Was driving in a rural area and found an abandoned, rusty crude oil storage tank. These are the metal stairs that go up and around the tank. Desaturated, cropped and added a bit of gaussian noise for a little more texture.

I love this shot -- met the challenge very well, and is otherwise a wonderful photograph. Disappointing to have placed so low. Nice job.

Sher, This is very eye-catching. The perspective works to lead my eyes throughout the image. I like how it curves up near the top. Very well composed.
The interplay of shadows and light keep it interesting and rythmic.
Adding the gaussian was a very good idea, that contributes to the overall textural effect.
I do wonder if leaving the rusty color in it would have been even better, but black and white works too.
Good job, and I look forward to more of your images.
Regards,

Grayce

Great capture here, it truly meets the rhythm challenge. The crop is great. Somehow a little grainy though and personally I would have cropped out that dark bit on the bottom step. Otherwise a good photo!
