I really appreciate your deeper meaning behind the photo, but people don't give the photos that much thought. My chess pieces are the same way. I have the King in check and no one saw it.
I think in challenges you have a 2 - 5 second window to make an impression. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the macro shot you took. You put a lot of thought into it.
I found the shadows a bit distracting...but you had a fabulous idea.
Hard to figure from the comments. Each seems to have taken an element of this photo to either like or not.
Try this deeper meaning....The background is a poppy flower picture, blurred a bit. The two poppy pods are turned sideways and pushed together in the shape of an hourglass. The poppy picture is frozen in time, exemplified by the sideways hourglass, while the poppy pods are are themselves an example of how time goes past, decay happens.
I really liked this photo and the symbolizm that went with it.
