Autumn science
by smr78

Comment:
Yes, I think this is an excellent way to meet the challenge. Seeing things under a magnifying glass is a great analogy for a lot of what science is about. And it looks great in this shot, lovely colours and composition. I think a lot of science is also about studying the inert and dead to understand the living, so autumn works very well for you here.
Score: 10
Edit: my favourite shot this challenge.

Sound Waves...or...Can You Hear Me Now?

Lovely idea, but your sepia colouring has gone badly wrong in my opinion. 6

Lovely shot, great exposure... some nice textures in there. The bottom half of the frame is just too busy for my taste though and detracts heavily. 6

Electricity: bringing light

Nice idea, but I don't think the pylon works well horizontally centred. Great light though. 6

Incredible shot, but a HUGE shame it's out of focus! Great composition. 7

I applaud the sciences but biology is on the top of my list

Superb picture, and choice of post-processing colouration, but badly shoehorned into challenge with a less than elegant title. I really detest the border however. If I remember, I'll add this to my favourites as I really like the photo, but I have to score it low because of the irrelevance to the challenge. 3

"The Sun Also Ariseth"

I cannot see the justification for entering this picture into a science challenge. Sorry. 1

Incredible picture. I'm glad you didn't enter it into the science challenge though. Presumably it was taken too early for the lighting challenge? Shame as I'm sure it could have been a winner.

Exposed To the Cold World

I had given this shot a 10, but after much thought decided to reduce the score to a 7, because I don't think it meets the challenge. Without the title, I'd be struggling to work out the relevance. It is one of my favourite shots this challenge though... the symmetry works well here as well as the background pattern and textures. I like the blue duotone. I just wish it fitted the challenge better.
