i like the idea, but the picture is not really that great ... more depth of field and focus on the lemon would be better

Very very clever. It didn't sink in at first. Nice choice of DOF. I dont think any other would have fit.

The title validates the photo, I'm not sure the image does (Unless that is penicillin in the background?) I think more emphasis should have been on the petri (?) dish.

Nice composition. However, the meaning of this photo is probably lost on a lot of people who don' know the history of penicillin...

I think it was bread mould not fruit mould? petri dish not obvious enough. books too flat..I like those text book pics where paper disks have been impregnated with various antibiotics and they are placed on petri dishes of growing bacteria...you see bacterial death spreading out from the disk

I think your concept is very interesting (about Fleming's discovery) but I would like to see the lemon more in focus than the other items in the foreground. Also, I think more items that would suggest a lab would help. I do like the background color though, I like how it contrasts the yellow and blue of the fruit.

Third visit's the charm, I guess. I'm guessing that you left the moldy whatever out of focus on purpose to show that it's discovery was "by accident". So if that's true, then the photo tells the story correctly. I've scored it with that assumption. Technically, though, they didn't have hardcover textbooks, college ruled paper, or #2 yellow pencils in the days when penicillin was discovered - so this photo is anachonistic.
