Abstract Lines or not?

very abstract, since you can not imediaetly tell what it is. i love the colors, the lines the partial s curve to it. I am curious about the b/w but suspect the color to be superior because the blue of the sky and the white of the thingamajig ( scientific term for unknown object, see also thingamabob, or watchamacollic.) compliment each other
You forgot dowhichey and gissmo. But it is good to run across another techno-whatsit;-).

I think it is abstract. One more suggestion (since the B&W worked out so well), you might try cropping off the far right side so that you don't see the pattern ending. I think repeating patterns look best most (but not all) of the time when you don't see the pattern beginning and/or ending.
Just my two cents, give it a try and let me know what you think,

Something like this? or should I crop in farther?

I see where you are coming from, but I like the terminating end. I think both would be good, just a matter of what you want to say I guess. This is one of those shot that has so many possibilities from just leave it as it is too... wherever you want to go. Very nice shot. Will JWilliams0469 please stand up and take a bow.

That crop is perfect. I think it says a lot about an image that can be processed many ways and they all look good. You might want to print and frame your favorite version and hang it on the wall.

Thanks! I'll be having one printed on canvas to hang at top-end of my stairwell... I think it will look great there!

I have a philosophical question here. Do you wish to express infinity (cropped) or terminal (un-cropped)? Most people will prefer to express infinity, it implies a most secure prospect. Others would prefer to imply impermanence. So I would say that whether cropped or not cropped depends what do you wish to express? It can get deep so you may want hip-waders and nose clamps ;-).

You know the more that I think about it if this were my shot (which it is not), I would go back and take another shot as a companion shot. I would shot with the trellis entering the frame from the upper right and winding down to the lower left (to be in color). Then using the original in black and white. Hand both in a hall way with one on one side and the other on the other side.
