a very interesting take on the theme, i like your interpretation.
The photo itself, however, isn't all that appealing.

The lighting here is very harsh, tends to make it over exposed.

Twiddling

Comment by GeneralE:
Thanks for the comments ... looks like with a darker towel and slightly faster shutter speed this could work better. I haven't practiced much with manual shutter settings.

If I'd only spent less time (figuratively) twiddling my thumbs and more setting up the shot ...

I like the little spike of high votes disrupting the "normal" curve : )
