I find it a pleasant composition, and the reflection of the squares within the squares is entertaining. If I were to have a criticism it is that one thing that I try to bear in mind is my philosophy that photos are like sentences, the best ones have both a subject and a verb, and this one doesn't seem to have a verb.
That's a concept I haven't thought of. Fascinating. But then, what kind of verb would you attach to a still life photograph? I sure need to think about that and digest that thought properly. Or you can say, I need to grok it rightly.
If it were my photo, I would be inclined to try rotating it 90 degrees, probably clockwise, and/or converting it to black and white. I have no idea whether either of those would improve the photo, those are just things that I'd play with.
Yes, and b/w tonality a-la Godfrey's work from the last year... I see your point. Apparently, I shot it exactly the way I wanted it to be, but I might have limited my reasoning to too few choices indeed.
