"ah ha. did anyone seriously think this wouldnt get the blue?"

Uh... yeah. ME! :) Thanks, JDubsgirl.

Timfy, I had an eight or higher for most of the challenge... up until thirty minutes before it ended... *sigh* But, it was a THRILL all week long. I kept looking at that 8 thinking... surely it's a 6 that I've mis-seen. *smile* Thanks for your kind words.

I predict a ribbon for this, but I like it anyway. It is a sincere candid, expertly done but with all the appropriate feeling.

Thoughtfully composed and framed. Great job exposing this. An eight for you.

I like the very subtle highlight to the passage in the dictionary about chemistry but that I think is where this image meeting the challenge ends. I'm not sure of the relevance of the gecko and the pencil - to me they aren't closely related to chemistry and I've been looking at this image for a while now and can't think how they add to your theme and idea.

Technically this is fairly strong, you've obviously got some patience to make the gecko sit still for so long, or a fast shutter :) in any case, its well executed with the exception of cutting off the gecko's tail (but hey they grow back right?!). But because I'm not convinced that your idea is that closely related to chemistry I had to score this down some and give it a 4.

Very tasteful and fitting for the tribute.

I'm going to add that this is my favourite. There were a couple that did a good job of emulating Sean's work, but this one is original as well as, to me, the most poignant and touching.

Sorry I could only give you a 10, and hope you win.

Talk about framing a shot!! beautifully composed and exposed image...and the colors you picked for the duotone and frame accent are just perfect.
