Day 229 - Black and white on green

Something of an abstract today, with this photograph of the rubber runners on a boat trailer in storage.

I took another shot of this same scene with the camera's aperture at its smallest (F8) in order to get all of the runners in focus but it just doesn't look right. I like this version better, with the focus uneven and the runners taking on an almost musical feel, like so many base-drum mallets or some other percussive instruments.

The green background puts the black-and-white colour scheme of the trailer into interesting relief and the runners themselves almost seem to move against this background.
