A history of pharmacy

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

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.

I do not have the slightest idea what the in vitro fertilization process looks like, but I love the sharpness, clarity, and balance of this image. 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.

Dog Walk

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

Leaving the nest

Interesting dynamics here -- makes me wonder what was going on and engaging the viewer is always a good thing. I like back lighting but the exposure, esp on the girl's hair and the ground, is a little off here.
