Description
You could try guessing what this is, but it's one of those obscure things... and no it's not living.
I feel as if my gallery is really lacking 'normal', natural, colourful photos, and yet I can't ... connect with it. I feel most comfortable producing these types of photos and yet... eh.
Perhaps it is because no one knows what it truly is? Is there power in that? Or something else?
This isn't a profound piece in the sense that it has any true meaning, but I hope you enjoy it, regardless.

I used to enjoy it. Nowadays.. I can't say I'm that certain.
Possibly.
Thank you very much for the comment!

I like it. 
My pleasure!
I kind of want to know

Ah.. I'm not sure if I've said the answer here.
If I have, then I can tell you.
If not, I better not do it.

Are you bursting to want to know?

Alright.
It's a slice of clementine, or orange, in a dried/scented style?

I got pulled in to all of these comments with people trying to guess what this is.

You could say that it is, yes.

Another guessing thing....hmmm...
could it be a cup of coffee?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... It's not quite a cup of coffee.
It's something obscure. >.<

Heh...
Could it be an ashtray?
All that white circly bit with
the hole in the middle makes me
think it's some kind of container.

It's not an ashtray, but I do get where you are coming from!

Maybe it's dumpling.
Because of the white folded bits.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, perhaps! I think I see what you mean... I wish I had some, now. >.>

Nuuuuuuuu. Yes.
If you're free on fridays, come steal
nancy's dumplings with me.

Ah, I wouldn't feel right doing that.

Awww elaine.
It's alright, nancy doesn't mind >:3

It still wouldn't feel right. >.<

Eye see an I.
It's closed and sleepy
I like how it is framed with arcing lines moving from top left to bottom right and blushes of light that make forms in what would otherwise be empty and dull space. It has a dreamy sense of realty that is beatiful and delicate.
And dadgum August 2010... I haven't been around in a while.

Thank you very much!
You've disappeared!
Heck, we need to catch up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome.
And of course I didn't mean to disapper. I just got really bad really fast.
But feel free to send me a note eith whatever's on your mind. I have the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software that converts speech into text. Now I can communicate on the Internet and complete school work. Which is something I strive for.

I do appreciate it.
Hmm... I have been wondering about that. I mean, you updated us about it and stuff, but then... yeah. =/
That's just... Darn it.
That's awesome.
I'm glad you have that, at least. It's good you have a goal as well. Sometimes, I feel as if it's too easy to give up sometimes.
But... heck, it does feel as if 12 months have gone by, now that you've mentioned it. I remember meeting you... right near the beginning, almost?

Although, keep in mind Dragon makes some very weird mistakes sometimes. I try to correct them, but a few slip my eyes from time to time.
But no it's been longer than 12 months.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I'll understand completely.
So you're not doing any art at all, now? =/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well thank you for your kindness.
Nope. My muscles are stripped and joints shot. Just little pictures here and there. Nothing too profound.
But between you and me I am getting treatment. But for what, and how, I'll say later.

Looks like a spoon, I think.
Your photos are beautiful but I find the DA watermark incredibly distracting. I understand your desire to protect your work but perhaps something a bit less intrusive would be better.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting...
Ah, I can understand that. I would put my own, but... eh, I'm not good at that. If I feel the need to remove it quickly here, I can, so...
Thank you.

I have no clue what this is.. But i do believe that there is a lot of power in mystery, our lives revolve around knowing the 'truth' and the rationalisation of somethings that often don't have any meaning behind them. I don't know im in a rather absurdist mood right now..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is true.
Naww.. it makes great sense, thanks a lot!

It is quite easy to give something we've never really seen a sense of power. Like the fear of large animals, depending on how TV depicts them we could develop a prejudice against certain animals without ever actually having seen them.

Interesting...
That's true in some ways.
Thanks a lot.

I wouldn't fight your instincts on what to put in your gallery
And yes, I would say there's a sort of power in having a secretive subject matter.
Regardless, it's a very mysterious odd shot

I know you said it's not living, and for the life of me I can't think of what it is, (has been here for like five minutes), but it makes me think of a closed eyelid. It seems to match the title too, an eye closed off to the world. A bittersweet ending, to an otherwise tragic life. =/ I am depressing.

I think I get what you mean there.
I love your perspective.

If I guess it right, will you say so?
...never mind I give up.
