I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Beautiful coloration and composition, love the warmth and clarity in your image. I really like the way we can see the plane of focus across the image too.
Critical stuff: Nothing at all
Overall: A well conceived and executed image that stands out from the crowd.
The red thing in the background--is that a Chinese-style box of some kind? It looks like one that you get those little meditation stress balls in, but I can't really tell.
