Early stage apartment construction site had huge corrugated drainage pipes lying around awaiting installation. I came across the area in the late afternoon after all the workers were gone, so I was free to walk around. Got this shot standing at the edge of one of the large pipes.

I so almost took a similar shot, there were lots of these by where I was. But was worried it'd be scored real low and I'd receive a bunch of "boring" comments even though I liked the idea.
Creativity, lightig and interest is how I'm looking at this challenge. this really stands out from the dross around it. A little gem that out to ribbon. 10
