Love the idea, the models, their get-up, the pose and especially the expressions of complicity on their faces. I do not like the vignette. It is still one of my top picks.

Science transforms sleeping hours to learning hours

I've been back and forth on this one -- I like so much about it (perspective, set up, expression and pose) but the lighting is not quite working for me. Still one of my top ten and a very nice entry imo.

A history of pharmacy

Comment:
I'm not crazy about the background here -- like the shadows but not the gradient and it's a bit grainy -- but the idea is excellent and I really like the marble look (may be real) of the mortar and pestle and the touch of the fresh herbs in it. One of my top ten.

Gigaflop Alley

Comment:
Very nice perspective and lines and I like that you knelt (or had your model kneel) so the end of this aisle is not obscured by his figure. Is it legal to use transform tools in Advanced Editing? I would have liked to see the horizontals in the floor and ceiling parallel to the bottom frame. I'm thinking I might also have desaturated everything but the figure as I'm not sure what the green adds. Still excellent by me and one of my top ten.

Applied Science : Better Than Sex

Comment:
Impressive array and great tones (I might have desaturated as I think the tinges of red distract very slightly). I know nothing about motorcycles, nothing about engines, but I enjoyed exploring the shapes, textures and lines here. one of my top ten.

Magnetic levitation due to the Meissner Effect in a YBaCuO superconductor at 77K
by vawendy

Comment:
Another that I don't come close to understanding (Meissner Effect? YBaCuO superconductor?) but I do get "magnetic levitation", love the lighting, the frosty look of the metal chip, and especially the vapor hovering around and behind. Cool shot -- one of my top ten.

Antarctic Ornithology

I suppose they are on the ground and that is snow but given the background, it almost looks as if they are in the clouds. Nice sharp capture of these captivating birds -- sure wish their natural habitat was not disappearing at such an alarming rate!

Beautiful colors and clarity. The symmetry works well for me. One of my top three.

Not original but so well done -- nothing deducted by me. I love the colors, focus and clarity and really admire the skill and patience that go into getting a shot like this. One of my top three.

Like this idea a lot and the perspective, too. Just a bit red for me but that's a personal choice. Nice entry.
