Movement and direction is captured in this shot; the eye is drawn through the curve of the bridge to expose a curved river bed (low water level) and the river swirling against the pebbles.
The curves are equally present when converted to black and white.
Man-made curves in these chains at the Honister Slate Mine in Cumbria and also the curved path they hang over. There is movement and direction as they coil around the wooden joinst in a continous fashion. There are also curves within the chains forming the individual links themselves.
The image also works well in black and white: the lines are clear, but it's a pity that the tones of the terracotta against the rusty chains are lost.
A curve is present in the space created by the branch. Direction is implied, either clock-wise or anti-clockwise as you can image something sliding down the branch or trunk and up the other side.
The image works just as well in black and white; the curves with implied direction are still present.
The curved shape adopted by the slug as it travels across a rocky wall towards some ferns; direction and movement are captured in this image.
The impact of the curve is not lost on converstion to black and white, but I prefer the colour version because of the orange colouring of the rock wall.
