For a moment there i was going to ask you how many shots you had to take to get this perfect. Then i read the description. Good idea, anyways, and the expression and hands make you look somewhat surprised (like it was a magical self-solving rubik!)

Makes me imagine some cognitive science facility training. "Use your mind to figure out this cube, and correct it without ever touching it!"
Absolutely love it!

will it float and do magic when you solve it?

Looks cool! I like that you twisted the rubiks cube a little instead of leaving it flat-paned.

I love it! ~
It has the high-tech science fiction feel to it, and the title helps to bring it out even more. Well done

Very creative, and imaginitive!
Kudos to you, and your facial expression suits the shot I think.

Your left wrist? I think it's the crop. You cropped it right at the joint, which makes it look.. weird. xD The cube looks fine to me though! As does your expression. xD

gorgeous, I love it!
I really like the resized rubix, it makes it so much cuter.

Actually the rubix cube wasn't resized It's just a mini rubix cube.
The entire image was resized. On full resolution, the white highlights on the stickers of the rubix cube are about 5 pixels wide but when resized they become around 1 which looks strange in my opinion

ah, gotcha! I read your comments too fast initially & didn't quite understand. well, that highlight is pretty teensy & I certainly don't notice it looking strange. the editing and the shot is beautiful as always; I love the contrast of the rubix with your expression.

"The rubix cube was hung with string"
AWWwwwww man. I thought you were gonna show us or tell us something cool of how you setup a timing rig to take the shot .
Why did you re-size the rubix cube?

JeanFan In reply to megaclaw2 [2010-04-24 20:36:04 +0000 UTC]
Well I've done timing rig style shots; it's fun sometimes to try new techniques.
The entire photo was resized. It's a mini rubix cube

The facial expression is nice.. but for me, it looks like you are surprised as the rubix cube is solving itself and not that you are solving it. I dont know if that was the intention
I think resizing made it look weird too :/
I tought it was photomanipulation.
But it is not.. cool effect!
Very nice idea, I like it.
