Like the layout very clean.

Not a criticism but I might have moved the focus onto the nearest cube and used a shallow DoF to throw the big block out of focus.

I did that to mine when I was a kid it didn't help me solve it and my dad wasn't too pleased with me. Great focus on the cube.

Good technical shot. Wouldn't surprise me if this was a ribbon contender. The color reflections in the shadows are nice, the exposure is spot on, and the DOF and hierarchy both creating an interesting focal point to rest on.

The little quirks, like the cube being ever-so-slightly rotated at points only add to the authenticity.

It works well for this challenge.

I was thinking of doing this with a 5x5 i've got but really couldn't be bothered at the thought of putting it back together again haha

You know we all have done this when we were kids :)
I like it as it is well executed, and I particularly like that the broken cubes show mainly the colors hidden in the big one. Very very nice!

Thanks to the Internet, my kids don't have to use this method... but I was very familiar with it back in the 80s. :) Great shot! Love the colors and light.
