This might sound weird, but the part of your image that I like best is the deep blue background. The main object is interesting, yes, and those yellow-oranges are delicious, but the background has got them beat by that spectacular scaly deep blue. Oh, and I like the little tears on the yellow-orange ribbons: very unusual.
Looks like you brought out the heavy artillery with this one, Bruce! Wow! That bound and wrapped look is striking, and I really like the frayed edge of the orange "binding"! I also like the textures in the background! Quite a unique and powerful creation my friend! :)
