Physics course on CD

I think the vivid colors are gorgeous, focus and lighting are good. The only thing I don't like about the image is that it doesn't say science to me - without the title it just looks like a (pretty) cd. 7

E. coli, it's what's on your plate
by fas-ligand

Comment:
One of the nicer 'science lab' photos. I definitely like the range of colors, brings additional interest. The lighting looks good - sterile and cold, fits the general idea of labs. Good title - anything with E.coli gets my attention! The action with the hand and the pointer thingie adds movement and additional story. Well done. 8

This is how the green appels are make!
by PeZkaLL

Comment:
I got a chuckle out of this one. Would've liked more of the apple showing, so it was more apparent that was what was being made green. Also seems to have a soft focus throughout the photo, since the hypodermic and the apple are the main subject, I think they should both be in sharper focus. Funny idea, a bit of a poke fun at science in my estimation. I like the originality. 6

Arquimedes

Comment:
Great fun example of displacement. At first I didn't get the connection, but luckily I'd recently seen something on PBS about Archimedes. Everything looks good, my only wish would be that the duck have a bit more light on it. 8

Beef Goulash
by cvt_

Comment:
Great color usage. The noodles look fairly well defined. The food does look good. I like the use of the black background, but I find the ingredients spilled in the back a bit distracting. Would've rathered the shot be filled by the goulash instead - not cut off in the right hand corner, I think it is strong enough to stand on its own - no props needed. Lighting looks good. 6

Maple syrup cookie stack

Great colors, I do like the off-centered presentation in this instance.. I do think the white border coupled with the white plate and background are a little too much. Maybe if the white beneath the blue cloth were a different color it would give an added depth. Since not all of the stack is in the photo, I would've liked all that is showing to be in focus. Otherwise, its a nice photo. Good job. 5

Antacid Aftermath

I like the idea behind the photo, but I think it needs a few more elements to add interest. I don't have any off the cuff suggestions though. A different colored plate, may be a solution - I don't think that particular color offsets the pale coloring of the tablets very well. Great idea - rather unique, but needs a little better presentation. 4

Garlic
by gakout

Comment:
To be truthful, I find little of interest in the photo. Perhaps the black & white aspect of it took out what could've been a nice contrast - whitish garlic against a wooden background (looks like wood could be wrong). The size of the photo does take away for me as well. May have added a bit of drama if the garlic was in one corner, with an expanse of background - giving it a depth of space and interest. That said, I do like the lighting, it creates some interesting shadows and the focus looks crisp on the end of the garlic. 4

Homemade For Fido
by Gracious

I'll be looking this recipe up when the challenge is over, my dog loves treats, and honestly - these look kind of appetizing to me too. I love the detail showing on the 'bones', the colors are a nice array of neutral tones, excellent texture. Great lighting. Focus is perfect. I don't see anything I would change. 10

Fast and Easy Tex Mex Dip
by GolferDDS

Comment:
Great set up, I like how it gets all aspects in the photo without it feeling busy or crammed. Nice space. I do wish though the food had more presence than it does, I think it was lost due to the perspective the photo was taken from. I would've also liked the whole presentation to be brighter - with the nice feeling of space, comes a need imo for greater light depth. Other than those points I think its a very good photo. 7
