Taken at my department's dispensing machine. Untouched except for a bump up to the contrast. The coils gave me an eerie feeling of loneliness and hence the title.

Thanks a lot for the criticism. This has been my first few days on dpchallenge and I was testing the water for what the audience type is like. I guess I will have a less abstract entry for the next contest.

thanks again for your time.

Composition: This has a nice composition, very balancde. I like how the coils fade into the background.

Colors:Black and white was aa very nice choice for this photo, although I suspect the original was close to black and white.

Lighting: The lighting seems a little harsh in the upper left, where it reflects off of the top of the coil. I like what you did with the contrast, but it may be a little over the edge for most of the voters.

Meeting Challenge: This photo definitely meets the challenge, and its a subject we all see everyday without really looking at it.

Border / Title: Your title maybe the best part of the photograph. I like the comparison to eyes.

Overall: Overall this is a good photograph, but it does not hold my interest for too long as there does not seem to be a very defined subject. My eyes tend to wander over the entire photograph without finding a place to land.

Great lighting

I like the contrast and the way the springs fade into the darkness at the top of the frame. The light smudge at the top left of the left spring is a little distracting, but at the bottom of that left spring, the reflection of light is great.

Lots of curb appeal, but it can't sustain my interest. seems tolack critical sharpness also.
