Leukocyte & Erythrocytes...burst of life, fade of death.

Had to look up what those were and still don't know. All I could figure was that they both had to do with blood. I'll take your word for it that they're mutually exclusive groups. And blood being one of the things we can't do without I get the burst of life fade of death reference but also how the two fireworks here reflect that as well. One has just burst and the other is nearly dead. Looks like you are an intelligent person who's put a lot of thought into this challenge. As for the technicals I think you've done a good job here as well. The composition and color are pleasing. I know July 4th shots I took came out squiggly on most of them because I didn't use a tripod. In the end this probably isn't going to get the score it deserves.

Eggregation

This is actually very cool. You've got the yin yang for dichotomy but you've also put humor into the title by using the subject (egg) to form the idea of segregation where you've separated the yolk from the white. There's so much to think about in this one. Way cool. And the technicals are very good as well making this a well rounded (no pun intended) shot for this challenge. 10

No idea. I'm really bad at flower names but I'll come back later and post a shot of this less cropped so you can see more of how it grows and maybe that'll help someone identify it....
