I like the suggestion that the skull's brow is furrowed in annoyance, or puzzlement. (Perhaps like mine, because the background does not look green, as advertised in the title--I see it as blue-dominated turquoises and teals. The only green I see is part of the skull itself. But no matter.)

I enjoy the concatenation of curves--especially the skull's zygomatic arch, its top frontal outline, and the big swirl in the background fabric. I find these echoing shapes vaguely reminiscent of concentric ripples in a pond, or of Van Gogh's use of swirls in "Starry Night". The solidity of the more linear surface on which the skull rests makes a restful contrast with the motion of my eyes' meandering journey along the curves above.
