These crystals have some interesting texture to them. The range of colors is nice too. This looks like it may have been a bit overprocessed in the photo editing software. Or, it may just be a result of the harsh direct flash lighting. In the future, when taking pictures of close-up objects, you may try using the exposure compensation feature of your camera if it has one. This shot would have been nicer with maybe a -1 EV exposure compensation. *5* -balynch

For those that are just learning, like me.
Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.
Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.
Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.
Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.
There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.
Good original idea. The backlighting really works well for this chunk of rock. It's beautiful. You know, you could put a picture frame on this and it would look like a photo of an absract painting.
