 A few weeks ago, my sons got in their heads to grow crystals based on a Jimmy Neutron episode they saw. So I bought them a crystal growing science kit. We prepared the solution and they checked their crystals every day for progress. Pictured is my youngest with his results. He's thrilled with his crystals and wants to take it to school to show off.

Nice image, 6.

Like your idea! Having a child in this certainly makes for a more interesting photo. I think that cropping a bit more of the hands would place more focus on the crystals. Also, it would be better with more light on the crystals.

Good depth of field. I don't mind the cropping of the boy's face, but I would like to have seen both hands and the whole chunk of crystal.
Overall contrast seems bit low, too, but that is only a minor bit.
Should score well enough as it is, though. 8
