Love this shot- the colors, the look on the scientist's face, especially captured in the eyes and eyebrows. Is the purple substance thickened into a semi-solid gel like not quite set jello?

Nice shot but the light on his head is a bit distracting IMHO.

Nice! I like the colors, focus and contrast. The square crop worked well here. His expression is perfect for the photo. One of my top picks for this challenge. (10)

There's a lot going on in this shot and what I like most about it is that its very balanced. The square crop has been used to full effect here to draw attention in on the main areas of interest, the varied colours work well and the different elements come together nicely. This is one of the better shots from this challenge but a couple of minor faults made me mark it down a little - the blown highlights on his head being the more obvious. The second one, and this is somewhat subjective, is the guys expression. I cant place my finger on exactly what I dont like about it, but I think I'd prefer it without the raised eyebrow. I gave this an 8.

i like the centered crop - although not usually a fan of 'colored water' for chemistry shots - the humor of the shot makes it work for me

I'm not sure what it is but I'm impressed you have an hour glass! Just a tad oversharpened in spots to me but otherwise perfect. I think you have a photo with serious contention for a ribbon in this challenge.
