 This is my second picture, I retook the shot after critiques from other people.

I made the map myself, tea-stained the notebook and lit the scene with a golden glow. The glasses are my own, and the compass was just a keychain.

Anyways, my take on Geology is that these scientists search for the secrets of the world, much as a treasure hunter searches for the treasures of the world, hence why I combined them.

I'm one of the dense voters that did not see the connection. Of course, now that I can see your notes, I understand what you were trying to convey. I'm afraid I gave it a neutral vote of a 5, because as wonderful an image as I think it is, I just failed to see the connection. Sometimes (frequently, in fact) thinking outside the box is not rewarded with a good score. Still a very well done entry, even if the relevance went over my head.

Geology or Geography.......The Sepia style processing does work well for the subject you have chosen

Geology or cartography?!?! :) Interesting and unique take on the challenge.

I'm not seeing geology implied here. When I look at this, I see "exploration". It is well done, however. I like the warm sunset lighting.

Good idea, but a bit hokey. Try this with a vintage map (minus the grease stains, sorry) and other nostalgic items

that, to me, is more like 'geography' than geology. i like it, though and it's one of the more unique photos in the challenge as it isn't a physical illustration (ie rocks, mountains, etc...) of the topic
