Gently curling autumn leaves, winding winter roads and the delicate curves of city buildings: Bends can be truly beautiful.

Last week, we partnered with HP and photographer Daniel Rueda Cuerda to challenge Mashable readers to visually capture creative bending designs.

From kittens in flowerpots to city streets at night, your submissions celebrated the beauty of curves in all their forms.
