Good depth of field for such high magnification. Lighting is reasonalbe for the subject. However, picture is a bit dark over all. Perhaps some work in a photo editing program to lighten it up, or a different surface, or colored surface to add some life to the picture. It tends to come across as a random jumble of crystals on a dark grey surface. Has potential to be much more. You are on the right track with good instincts. Going with a 6 here.

Good texture, and the grayscale was a nice choice.

you get a ten, 'cause you're so macroed in this shot that the subject looks totally different than it does with the naked eye.

Oh wow! Really??? If not, you've got me fooled! Nice job. Good luck in the challenge. Grayce :-)

i think a different angle would have made this more interesting...slightly out of focus...too busy (could have used fewer grains)

Not exciting but scientifically fantastic and technically great. Shows the shapes beautifully. Good choice of B & W. solid 9. PTL

Really cool, could have used just a bit more focus though. DPz

This pushes "macro", looks more like "micro". 7

Not close enough. I want to see INDIVIDUAL MOLECULES!!! (Just kidding -- great shot! :)

that must be some very large salt Did you try placing them into an arranged form or pattern? Might have helped your image.
