Just goes to show how fickle voters can be even with G**gle at their fingertips...
I didn't think it was worth 10 for DPC but not 1,2,3,4 or 5 either!
Zur Farbenlehre contains some of the earliest and most accurate descriptions of phenomena such as coloured shadows, refraction, and chromatic aberration.
Keep up the good and thought provoking work.

I won't say I understand it (I Googled, too) and I'm sorry it didn't do well in the challenge. I *will* say that I think it's a marvelous image that I drooled over while it was in voting. With those wonderful colors & great sense of movement, it would look fabulous printed large.

Well, the "utterly outstanding, presumably doomed" comment makes up for it. lol

3 favorites now. I was sure I added it to my list during voting. I loved Bear_Music's comment: "Utterly outstanding, presumably doomed,". I really thought this would make it to the top.

Had a slight suspicion this might be posthumous's. And I guess it sort of is. Historically funny.

Thanks. I was pleased with it, but I didn't expect it to score well. I am quite astounded by how well it was received by some, though.

eta: The only thing that would have made this better is if I had placed 69/69.
