You get my first comment of the challenge. Nice picture. I like the lighting and the focus. Color looks good. The subject is interesting. My only complaint would be that the camera seems to be tipped a bit. The crystal is hanging at an angle. And don't even get me started about the rule of thirds.... waltoml 8.
