Science Challenge:
Well, I just went through all of them and did my scoring. What a nightmare. I ended up having to rescore quite a few. With the sort I had, I didn't start seeing the "fantastic" ones for a while. Then I rethought some of them I'd scored earlier (usually raising the scores). I also made more comments this Challenge than I usually do.
Yeah, in my opinion, I think that 'science' is a bit of a definition hassle. Having worked in some form of pure science all my life, I did have a tendancy to score higher on "lab" sort of images. Those, to me, best represent the subject matter. This Challenge was great for the youngsters, in University, that have access to all the neat toys, I'm sure. Anyone who takes a camera into an Optics lab or a Physics lab and doesn't get a neat image isn't trying very hard !
BUT, I scored a lot of 10's on subjects that were not 'pure' science as well. Usually the title helped sway me.
Lots of really good technical photography this Challenge. Fun, though somewhat agonizing, at times, to score.
