Definitely one of my favorites. Love the color palette, the lines and shapes, the mystery...

Creative. A favorite of the challenge. Ditto what Melethia said about this deserving a posthumous blue ;)

Artsy. Both warmth and coldness. Out of the box for in the box :) A top pick.
Hope your notes let us know how you achieved this.
Bumping up; I'd like to see this ribbon.

I like the way you cutout yourself off of a cardboard just so you can rest in a box. The composition, colors, grain and blur work well together to enhance the mystery.
