This was found and not arranged. It was taken at the base of an old window looking down at it. The middle part is where the window would slide into when closed. Shot using natural light at sunrise.
Editing includes b/w conversion, adjusting the contrast via curves and some spot cloning to remove some clutter to clarify the scene.

Thanks for the ribbon Don!
Just a couple of alternate entries I had for this challenge:

I couldn't look at the entries/winners in this Challenge (sameness...I assume) but I'm certain that this is the best and most interesting out of the lot.
Wow - I think you really got robbed here. This is one of the most interesting photos of the bunch IMO. Very artistic and beautiful lines in that curled centipede hull.
I really liked this shot though I didn't vote. Reminded me of something from a NIN or Tool video. Can't figure out why it scored sub-6, though every time I look at it I get this feeling that the image is tilted slightly. Maybe that's it.
One of my high scores. Beautifully processed and utterly satisfying image. I know, intellectually, that's electrical conduit or something, but it seems so ORGANIC, like a chambered nautilus kinda...
Actually, I believe it's a hollowed out millipede. The size of it is quite small. I found this under a window and just shot it as is.

To be honest with you I kinda really like this shot. I had to come back to it, because at first I went through all the pics really quick but made a note to come back to this. I think a lot of people will pass it up and think gross, but I actually really like the texture and feel to this shot. It appears to be almost a NIN Cd cover. The sharpness and clarity are right on. I like the composition and the tones and contrast are right on. Your horizontal line is perfect and the title works. Very nicely done. 9
At the first glance the photo didn't look extra ordinary, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. I think it is the colours together with the textures.
that's pretty gross, but cool. A tighter crop would have been better, to get rid of the black, or at least straighten it if you have to keep it. Cool find thoough
