 Rubix cube was my first idea but I wanted a picture of my smashing it with the hammer but I couldn\'t get the loose pieces to bounce and look alive so I went with this idea.

Boy... I liked this one as it is the only way I can solve one of these.

I also like to mess with my son by taking the cube apart and then putting it back together with one piece reversed. Then handing it to him to solve. It takes him a while but he ultimately figures out that i messed with his cube...

Tossing this a 6. I think your focus point should have been the cubes in his hand. This would have given a clear focus on the reason he used the obvious hammer creating the other pieces. If the guide was then out of focus, I would have relocated it to make it readable.

Nice image, colours seem a little flat, probably due to some shadows cast on the broken cube pieces.

There are a lot of Rubic's Cube depictions in this challenge, but unfortunately, although some may have played with it in the 80's, it was really created in 1975. Therefore, the cube was really a 1970's craze, and not an 80's craze.Rubik's Cube was developed in 1975 by Ernö Rubik, a Hungarian professor of mathematics
