Actually, it was a fortunate coincidence that this State Forensics Lab just happened to have their "Friends and Family" day (Open House/Tour) during this challenge period, and my cousin works there. Normally, I expect access is quite restricted.

The shallow DOF was chosen to reinforce the metaphor stated in the title, that the further down the chain of command you go, the fuzzier and more diffuse the responsibilities become ...

Greeting from the Critique club. I have searched over your entry and would like to offer some suggestions for you. I like the composition and the subject that you have chosen here. The pollen and the colors are nice for the challenge. I like the fact that you went macro with it. However I would like to see a little more light on the subject the photo seems just a touch flat. Not sure if its the lack of contrast, or the lighting and you had to save the photo from being too dark. I also would like to see a touch more saturation and sharpness on the center. Overall I think you did very well. Good luck with future challenges.

I guess it's better then beers on the wall? An interesting photo and not something the everyday person sees.

And they all prove that "I didn't do it." Great example of theme.

Looks scientific, which is a good indicator of progress in most cases. Nice, sharp image, good composition.

No, those are real hands in front of the monitor -- legal under Basic rules today too. That's one thing which made it difficult to shoot; I had to both operate the camera (no remote) and get in position to "model" for the hands where they and the monitor would have the proper size and DOF relationship.
