This is one of those plastic ring boxes, and my orginal composition included a tissue paper rose. When I viewed the shot through my viewfinder, I saw these eyes looking back on me. The hair on the back of my neck literally rose. When I looked at the ring box, the eyes were gone!

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I believe that this is a nice abstract interpretation of the 'square' challenge. I really enjoy the way the light interacts with your ring box in this shot. The 'eyes' are also a really intriguing part of this image :) It's amazing at what you can really see if you spend enough time looking at this shot. I also really like the rotation of the ring box. The composition is much better with the diagonal orientation of the box...

Your title really goes well with the theme of this photo as well... I like an interesting title and I try to use them myself :)

Keep up the good work :)

It's a shame the background was not completely black. How many tme have you heard that by now? But it's a real good idea. Other than the background I can't help you any more.
