Composition-Content
I think that your idea for this was great, a very original take on the square theme. You have perfectly met the challenge. Composition is good here, but I think that if you had tilted the blocks a little, you would have achieved a more 3D effect, which would have added more dimension and interest to the picture. Personally, I like the use of negative space here and leaving a single block out was a good idea. I wonder if that using the hockey picture, you might have alienated a bit of the audience, you had comments from people that love the sport, but for those who don't I wonder if a brighter, more colourful picture might have helped this stand out.
Background
I think that the background is good, I like the different tones and the division of the top and bottom. Perhaps with a brighter picture on the blocks, the colour choice of the background would have had a stronger impact. As it is, I personally like the colour choice.
Technical
Great focusing and colour saturation here. The overall lighting is good, there is one hotspot on the helmet,I am not sure if that happened while taking the picture of the helmet (more likely, cause it is so shiny) or taking the final picture. If the former, then perhaps not using a flash would have helped, or bouncing the flash for softer lighting.
My Opinion
I think that all the effort put into this picture, really paid off. Really original idea and great shot. Perhaps the only thing I would change would be to tilt the cubes a bit for a more 3D effect and perhaps use lighting that cast shadows ( I like shadows!), perhaps to the side of cubes. Good Luck in the next challenge |

| Really neat shot but it seems a bit grainy. Did you use Neat Image? |

| I really like how you broke the entire image into many pieces. I also enjoy the fact that you are a hockey fan as am I. But I think that having a light blue background al helps create intrest in this image. Nice Work |

| I think I would prefer a different tint to this photo - the blue doesn't sit well with me. |
