High fibre


Here's a recent image, one of my "what the h*ll is that?!?" subjects. Anyone care to guess what it is?

I rather like how the lighting worked out here. This is uncropped, by the way. If you have any crop suggestions, or even just rude remarks, bring 'em on!

I just noticed that it's rather phallic.

Well perhaps its hair from a horse? Its very much like wire...

The picture itself doesn't do much for me other than being a great example of texture. One can almost feel that hair.

Not hair, but a good guess...

Nope, not insulation...

A frayed rope? Ivan

*DING* we have a winner!

Not exactly frayed, but it is indeed one strand from a thick nylon rope used to tie up great big ships. Supposedly rated to break beyond 110,000 pounds of force, this one snapped rather unexpectedly. I was taking documentary pictures with a combination of flash and incandescent lighting, and rather liked the results.
