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.

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.
