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

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.

A good macro, effective lighting and colour. I like the composition. One of my favourites. 9
Edit: Seems like the comments marked as helpful are very arbitrary. Two comments below are almost identical, but only one is marked as helpful. Very odd.

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.

Superb shot, my favourite this challenge. I really want to know how you achieved this. Great composition and lighting. Fantastic concept. 10

Fall Colors Revealed

Maybe I'm being picky, but I don't see autumnal colours as having been concealed. They didn't exist. This photo is so oversaturated, it hurts my eyes to look at it! 3

Exposing A New Dimension

Comment:
Strange ratio of negative space to subject here. Also a strange crop. I think I'd have liked to see more space above the head, and less below the hand. Perhaps in portrait orientation as well. Shame, as this is a very strong shot otherwise. Great idea, and great colours. 7
Edit: Only one helpful comment? That seems to be insulting on all the other people who bothered to comment on your picture.

I don't see what is now exposed, having been concealed in this shot. 3

Hmm, this feels like it was shoehorned into the challenge. Without the title, I'd be struggling to see the connection. 4
