 I was shooting photos for the B/W side challenge when I saw this vine twisted in the shape of an S. I instantly thought of the S-curve challenge. It is not the typical landscape S-curve but I felt it was leading the viewers eye. It was taking in the afternoon.

I see this is a climbing plant. I thought at first it was wire, and was wondering where the nature was. A leaf or two would help me figure that out. Good shallow DOF.

Simple and clean. I really like the color and glad you didnt pimp it out and oversaturate it. Very nice. Bumping up to 9.

Very simple interpretation of the theme nice uncluttered background, maybe used a smaller aperature as some of the twig is not exposed, hard to say.
