For all those who remember Rubik's cube and the who could solve them in 30 seconds.

Amazing how many people remembered those days, although some did not get it as following the theme. I knew when I entered that it would have a nostalgic feel only to people from a certain age/personaility/countries (I am not sure how big the cube was world-wide).
The picture was straight but to get the screwdriver to stand up it leaned slightly, since that is the longest line in the photo makes it look unballanced. What I should have done is made the screwdriver straight. (lesson 1 learned).
I know I need to work on lightening techniques, (lesson to be learned) plus I should have played with the color levels a bit to see if I could not get the colors to POP a bit more. (another lesson still to be learned)
This is an original cube and later editions had more color contrast. Plus the cube is wounded so I had limited choices of what side to show.
Well, that's my preferred option for the solution! Image lacks atmosphere and is a bit bland. Some directional lighting would help and straightening the image to vertical would be good.
With out a doubt. . . the best expression of what many felt at the time!!! I never figured mine out. On my computer the picture is slightly out of focus on the cube taking away from a perfect statement. Caused a thousand hours of frusration!
