very interrestig shape and indeed, the texture makes it look very nice!
but however for a desktop it still looks too strong imho. especially for the
strong shadow in the lower left. try to make overall colors smoother by
adjusting the lightning or so. a little more ambient can do part of the
trick.

Thanks for all the input.  This is kind of a WIP.

I was thinking of putting some focal blur on there, maybe try to make it
look like its microscopic, like a lattice of atoms or something.  I'll play
around with it some more and see what happens.

Too messy now, IMO. Too much blur, and the second shape and out cutout
of the first detract from the best part of the picture, that part being
the texture on the cube sides.

I agree to a certain extent.  I'm going to take out the smaller cube, and
maybe tone down the blur a little bit...but I'm definately going to keep
the cut-out...I love that eerie blue glow on the chewy nougat center :)

What do you think about the overall colors, though?  I didn't change them at
all from the first image, but the blur really softens up that shadow, I
think.

Interesting trivia...that texture on the box you love so much (as do I) is
really just a huge number of spheres (~35k) on spherical coordinates in the
shape of a box, and not a box at all.

I'm with Raf256... I like this one too. The sense of it dissolving yet
holding together, and the piece somehow cleanly removed while also looking
torn away. Only thing I didn't think at first was how the other cube might
be the missing corner section. I considered that to be a second whole or
partial cube in the background, so something about it didn't lead me to
believe it was falling away. I'd have thought them to be eventually
converging instead. Of course, you never said what it was doing anyhow.

It's a great 'conversation piece' type of rendering.

It was obvious that it was not a cube but a collection of spheres placed 
along a spherical pattern. At least, it was obvious for me in the first 
post...
