Please visit these awesome artists who where kind enough to feature this photo:
This is a unique crystal that inverts the world and gives you an upside down view. This is the first time I tried it and I hope you like it.
This is quite amazing. To me, it speaks a really good impression, and that impression is that it's really inspiring and it kind of makes you or the person seeing it want to create a masterpiece. It's excellent, especially the angle.
Besides being disturbed by the small brown bottom half, it is truly amazing. Although a tip would be to try to not have animated the sides of the tear so much or to not have blurred the backdrop too much.
But all in all, it was a mastermind's piece of exquisite art, a perfect angle, and a perfect object, and then, SNAP! You have ended up with an extraordinary product. I loved it.~
Seing it as this photo has been resubmitted I figured I had an excuse for a critique.
The photo in itself speaks for itself, it looks great and I will get back to that...
What strikes me first as a great improvement from the previously wider landscape format is how this cropping has resulted in moving the main feature sligthly off center. Ok so it's pretty obvious that this crystal is the main feature, regardless of it being centered or offset. But putting it offset with the cropping you have succeded in making it the natural focal point for any viewer, not just some feature put in the middle. So composition wise I give you two thumbs up...
As for the rest of the photo I hardly feel I can say anything that isn't obvious. It is a great photo, light, colours, contrast and so on looks really good. Truly the perfect moment for a photo, especially with the inverted view created by the crystal.
The only thing I might go as far as "complaining" about would be the focus and sharpness inside the crystal. It's not a perfectly clear inverted look of what is behind it or what you were looking at... but like everything else in nature, nothing is truly perfect. Clovers can have four leaves, nothing is perfectly square and a crystal will always have inperfections... Not much I can say, guess I can only take a deep bow to a well consieved photo.

Just an honest opinion.
