Life being the title , I feel you have some deep feelings about this image. Although I myself can not make the connection.
That may also lead to confusion with others as to the point your trying to make.
I like the color composition, the colors used work well to complement each other.
The reflective surface is lost in the DOF and there is no definite edge that seperates the true image from the reflection.
Also the reflection is a bit burry. I would have liked to seen more of the pencil sharpener in the reflection this may have helped the image not to seem as flat.
The coil of the shavings work to draw your eye into where the action is taking place, This is a good thing!
The image does meet the challenge Criteria., without question.
