Well there's definitely some squares in the photo but I wouldn't say they're the main focus.

I don't know. If the squares weren't in the photo, there would be nothing to focus ON. Nice take on theme

I can see both points, either way it's creative

You could say that the focal point of the image is the key and this is made up almost enitrely of square tiles, so its right on theme!
It's a nice shot, lets not nitpick about whether one side is 2mm longer than the others.

Yikes.. Another six and it would have been a very evil cemetery! Nice shot, GL

I think it would look better if more of it was in focus.

The choice of the background is not very good (it's a towel)?

agrees with the towel. Doesn't fit. I would try something different.

great squares, not so great bg...........!

I like that the background (towel) also has squares on it but I would have used a section that wasn't stained/dirty

Those aren't really squares on the towel. They're diamonds.

my favorite flavor of cheezit, I am with falling horse about the towel as a backdrop I think the squares are just rotated 45 degrees.

Please read my description =)

It's a square all right author!
But vignettes are not allowed.

Okay, thanks! =) i've removed the vignette and lowered the exposure of the whole picture instead =) but not sure why there's what appears to be a halo around the box? any ideas why that's there, and any tips on how to stop it being created when taking a photo?

What lens do you use author?
I think that if the f number is very small (1.4 - 1.8 - 2.8 f.e) you get that effect.Happened to me a few times!
I am not sure about that...i think it has to do with the DOF.

Looks on theme to me. GL!
