I have an idea!

Light bulbs/Electricity are really Physics rather than chemistry. Still, the backlighting catching the hair is nice here.

Oxidation

I think the border spoils the photo here. The colour choice on it was bad imo and its a major distraction. The apple also seems too close to the edge on the left and bottom.

Diminished Photosynthesis

I always thought that came under Biology, but I guess there is a chemical reaction there too.

Golden Stem

I really like the curves and colours here, which are really nicely complimented by the black lines. These darker lines really give the shot a nice substance and make it look like a painting :)

Parked

Comment:
Composition: 6 - The shapes and crop you've chosed show interesting patterns, but perhaps more of an angle would add more drama?
Technical: 3 - The high contrast works to some extent, especially well at the bottom of the frame, but the top it causes all the whites to blend and just look a bit "mish-mashed".
Creativity: 6 - A risky shot for DPC but the patterns and repetition were well spotted :)
Appeal: 4 - The high contrast black and white is normally something that appeals to me, but this goes a little too far in my opinion.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

Row Boat
by robs

Comment:
Composition: 4 - Interesting, but doesnt really show the subject very well.
Technical: 5 - Nice exposure and good contrast. Nice colours in the sky too. Could have used a larger image size in this challenge to show the detail better, which a sharpen would also help.
Creativity: 5 - A different angle would add more uniqueness to the shot.
Appeal: 4 - Doesn't hold my interest for long because there is not enough of the row boat shown.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 4

Spirit of a tree

Comment:
Composition: 7 - In this case the centeredness works I think.
Technical: 6 - Nice appealing colour gradient, and teh silhouette looks good. I'm not sure if the texture is natural or post processed in, but either way I find it a little distracting. The whole thing could be a little sharper too.
Creativity: 7 - Nice idea and executed well :)
Appeal: 6

Overall Calculated Average Score: 6

Here comes the sun.

Comment:
Composition: 6 - The crop at the top seems a little tight, but the leading lines of the shore work well to guide the eye. Shame there's nothing at the end of them.
Technical: 6 - Seems oversharpened to me, and a bit on the bright side, but not too bad.
Creativity: 5 - I think with something in the shot to give it a point of interest it would look more unique.
Appeal: 5

Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

Contemplation
by Jas

Comment:
Composition: 6 - I think cutting a little off the bottom and left would improve the composition.
Technical: 6 - The shadowy area at the bottom seems a bit dull, but the rest is nice and vibrant and contrasty, if a little soft.
Creativity: 7 - The tilt works well to add a unique perspective, but I think even more of a tilt would look better, to stop it looking like it could be an accident.
Appeal: 6 - A nice photo to look at that holds my interest for a while.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 6

Soft Curves
by cresus

Comment:
Composition: 8 - Works well to lead the eye up into the framem but just a little too much space on the top in my opinion (and perhaps also on the left).
Technical: 8 - Nice low-key lighting creating a kind of abstract bodyscape. Just a hint of backlighting to accent the hair a little would really make this excellent though.
Creativity: 7 - The abstract way you have presented the model works really well.
Appeal: 7

Overall Calculated Average Score: 7
