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!
