 I would have loved to come up with a better idea, because there's basically nothing really puzzling in the shot.

It's the lens of a CDROM/DVD drive.

Rotate, crop, USM, clone out some dirt on the lens.

A stumper, so meets the challenge. Feels like a post-industrial abstract and for its genre, it's well done. I'm not resonating with the subject so much, however.

Is that a level? It looks to be inside something, perhaps the bottom of something. You've stumped me.

Inside a CD player?
I would have gone for black&white as the colours are not very appealing...

Supermarket laser scanner? Nah, that would be oo big. Innards of a DVD player? Hmmmm. Will be fun to find out.
