They say a photo is worth 1000 words, well, that's probably true, but we can now prove this photo is worth $5,000!

If I'm not wrong, the reason they do this is to reduce the water weight they need to carry, effectively keeping the nutrients, while reducing water through evaporation..

Darn neat photo, very well done!

For all the raving that it gets, the 50 f/1.8's bokeh just kills me every damn time.

Still a nice concept that I expected to do better.

Sooo DNMC.

My fiancee holds a B.S. in math, and I also enjoyed far too many math classes as a science major, so I'm certainly not ignorant as to what you're trying to say here, and I do enjoy the word play very much.

I think this location could prove to be a great place to get some very nice images for future challenges, as that pattern is really great.. Your choice of B&W processing really suits this image well, and your lighting is also very good.

DOF is a little shallow (nearest is slightly OOF) and your border isn't helping this image.

However, as I'm judging this image as an entry in the "Stock Photos: The Operator" challenge, this strikes me as sophistic and shoe-horny. *shrug*
