Brilliant execution. I have no choice but to give a good mark here, but I've seen a little bit too many shots like this before. Nonetheless, brilliant shot.

I noticed it was during the challenge, and was not added in after because it was not edited. Is this some new way of cheating? I don't understand how anyone could possibly know how this is one particular persons picture when there are thousands of members on this site.

This on the other hand is pecular. At least don't mention the person by name, but I doubt 1 vote changed anything.

I like what you are trying to achieve with this image. The cirle shapes throughout the image reflect one another. Nice lighting.

This image has been viewed four times and it's always been with the same result - the large dark drop in the foreground is annoying - as in very annoying - and it ruins what is otherwise a terrific concept and construction. Perhaps it's the odd shape or the fact that it just seems out of place, it does negatively impact the image. Still, it's a great effort and works well as a challenge entry.

Congrats Irene. This is a wonderful picture. No doubt if you would have used a green liquid, this would have definitely been a top 10. However, this goes to show that you cannot do well in a challenge even if the picture is within challenge description. The title of this picture is the only thing I see that has anything to do with green. Other than that, this picture does not even meet the challenge description. This picture should have been voted on by challenge description, not title. This should have not done better than 50 percintile in this challenge, as it does not meet the challenge. When are the voters going to vote on challenge descriptions and the thought that goes into them instead of a good picture with only a title that meets the challenge description? This is the kind of thing that is discouraging people from entering a challenge, and causing them to leave this site and go to others. Sorry, but this pic should not even be in the top 100.

this one really captures the essence of darkness for me, something getting drawn into nothingness, never to return
