I'm going to guess as to what this is and the meaning. You'll have to let me know how I do.
This looks to me like a phone cord, and it looks like something passing through the phone cord. Like maybe when they picked up the phone in the matrix and were transported somewhere. Looks like something being transported through a phone cord. The curly kind of phone cord.
Ok, now that i've gotten my guess out of the way, I'll talk about the photo. I hope I will be able to offer some helpful advice, as it looks like you were not happy with the comments you recieved on this.
First of all, it is a bit hard to identify. The photo is grainy, low lighting and doesn't seem focused well.
These 3 things actually are probably related. A lot of times when taking a shot in low light, parts will turn out with grain. Also, any camera shake at all when photographing in low lighting will result in a less than sharp photo.
I would suggest setting the camera down on something. Don't try it hand held. I would also use the timer if available on your camera. That way, you don't even have to touch the camera as the shutter releases. This way, you will definately cut down on shake, and the result will be much clearer.
However, if you were going for the blurry unrecognisable look, I think you achieved it really well. Took my imagination even awhile to come up with what this could be.
It seems well balanced with the exception of the bright blurr in the upper left. I find this to be a bit of a distraction, as I'm not really sure what part it plays in the story being told by the photo and also it doesn't seem to 'go' with the rest.
not really my sort of photo, but if my guess about what this is suposed to represent is correct, than it definately ties in well with the purpose of the challenge.
