Interesting, but it would be alot better if it was crisp. I like the background alot. If your camera isn't the greatest of qualities, one of the things you need to do is learn to work within the limits of your camera. This will make you a better photographer (especially when you get a good camera--you won't be relying too much on getting the camera to take the photo.)

Crystals seem out of focus to me and doesn't really invoke any feeling of "science" for me.

kind of hard to look at - theres not much going on (or too much I guess) there is not focus point. Its out of focus as well.

I find the brownness of the background unappealing

Without the title, I'm not sure I would've recognized what they are. Perhaps it's the lack of sharpness?

Would have worked bettwe if the crystals were in better focus.

I can't quite tell, but the inage seems out of focus. If you have or had the right equipment at your disposal, I would have liked to have seen just three or four of the crystals filling the frame. I like your idea though, it is alot more original than most in this challenge, mine included.

hmmm. i wish this was a tigher more clearly focused shot. I see the idea & would guess that it would be a ever better shot of I could see the crystals more sharply
