I don't know how I'll ever submit another photo without the guidance of my fabulous team...

Totally unplanned shot. Had something else entirely in mind, passed this box on the way to the front door, the idea came to me instantly. The slanted lighting was likewise unplanned - it was just the brightest room in the house at that time, and it didn't occur to me to lift the blinds.

Converted from RAW, adjusted lighting and contrast, USM, added border, resized for web.

Thing wore nail polish?
I like the shot, the shadows add a pleasant element.

good idea...but "Thing" was a man's hand and the position of the hand just doesn't scream "Thing" to me...I had used a similar concept for my camera bag...and I asked one of my team members if he know what/who "Thing" was...he had a blank look..."Thing" is lost of the younger generation IMO but I get it..

The shadows remind me of prison bars. I also like that the fingernails are the same color as the box. Very nice.

The focal point are the fingers of the hand, which leads me to think what the photo is supposed to be about? perhaps if the hand was reaching for the lock it would have tied in more with the challenges topic of locks.
