Could see this in an ad! The DOF is great along with the colors, lighting, and focus. My top pick for this challenge (10)

This looks like a photo from a stock site, thats a good thing. Its crisp, clean and well executed. The depth of field isolates the subject matter well and the out of focus guy in the background underlies the chemistry theme. This is a great example of blowing the highlights to good effect, as they are only blown in the background and this again adds the focus to the foreground.

The only thing which lets this down a little is that I think the concept is a little too obvious and I would have liked to have seen a more creative interpretation of the challenge. However its tough to balance ideas against the guys like me and the 'DNMC!' crowd so I won't hold it aginst you ;) 8.

Powerful image, perhaps more as a documentary picture than an artwork, but in this genre it's perfect. 9.
