Letter Opener with Crystal

I created this image as a simple still life, as a study in shape and

texture. But I think that the shape in the crystal is suggestive of a

bird taking flight, while the teeth and jaw are suggestive of an

animal about to attack it. So the image might also be interpreted as

a symbolic depiction of a predator/prey relationship. Comments about

either the visual impact of the image or its suggested "meaning" are

welcome.

Another image that utilizes this letter opener's strange and striking design is
