And second, I requested an in-depth critique of my last submission. When does that happen, and how do I access it?

The Critique Club will leave a comment on your picture sometime after voting if it gets selected. Not all pictures get critiqued in this way.

Oh, and one more question... I keep noticing people talk about how one person gave them a 7, and another gave them a 4 on the current scoring. How can I find that out? Is it only available to paying members?

Thanks.

If you click the "My Home" link you can see your score. For non-members this is updated once an hour. Paying member can update this on request and can thus see the change a single vote has and work out what the actual vote was.

Ok, I just thought of another question. Are there ever advanced editing challenges for us non-paying members? I'm sorry I'm so nosy, but I'm new to all this, and loving it!

Hardly ever. Become a member :)

Heres a thought for chemistry. Combine baking soda and vinegar. See what happens. Once you get the reaction, combine it with a creative way to present it, and you may have a winner.
What about rock candy? That is chemical. What about crystal rocks? that is a chemical reaction. Oh yeh, and lighting up a camp stove with propane that has been sitting in it for 5 years. Just stand back and put your camera on burst mode.
And here is a good one. Take chlorine and add water to it. Now that is an EXPLOSION
Can you tell I like chemistry? I got a million of them.

People here suffered serious injuries when meddling with chlorine and water, way back 30 years ago, the day I was born, it was on the front page of the local paper.

I was being facetious. We just had an explosion two years ago. A pool company named Namco had an accident with chlorine and water. Had to shut the entire area down for about 6 hours. They had to evacuate and everything. Just not sure if you take only a few drops of chlorine and a drop of water, if it would make just a little one. Not that I plan on trying it.

Well that's a relief. I had in mind to improve on my fire entry, burning gunpowder, as a chemical reaction to heat, but one of my mates, studying chemistry at Uni, gave me a better and safer idea.

Woo hoo! Just entered my Chemistry shot. I like it too. People are getting all fancy-shmancy with their thinking, but they'll smack themselves on the head when they see mine...

Ready to enter the Geometry Challenge.... nothing related to school, but a real Geometry shot. It's probably going to be voted down... but I like my picture and I decided to go ahead with it anyway.

Yeah, I should have done something. There are plenty of test tubes, beakers and stuff in these schools I work at, I had an idea but really dragged my feet in doing anything. (Heck, I've taken only about twenty photos in the past week...)

I'm annoyed now. Having taken a look there's no "melting ice" entry at all. I should have entered mine. Ahh well.
