It's a VERY unique and interesting picture.. but I wonder if you could have taken this picture without the reflection of yourself in it? It would look more "natural" instead of the mercury being PUT there in the first place. And if you plan to do this again.. maybe pick another spot on your railing that doesn't have the scratches on it??

| Thanks to everyone who commented on this photograph. And as Kavey said, the photo is Indeed in color, its just the texture of the wood and the mercury's chromatic reflextion makes it look B & W. |

Re one of the comments below, unless I am really losing it this IS in colour isn't it?? I am surprised you didn't score more highly - I think this is one of the better photos of this challenge!

| Is that fall leaves reflected in the mercury? cool! wish you could have gotten even closer! neat textures contrasting the smooth feel of the droplets. |

| Looks great. But you know that inhaling the gas from mercury is veryy undhealthy? Anyway. A good photo. I like the textures and their contrast to each other (rough natural wood vs. slick glossy liquid mercury). -stephan |

I am sorry I don't have time to vote this week - I am just skimming through the photos very quickly.
This is just beautiful, I love the reflections in the mercury and the texture of the wood.
I think I'd prefer sharp focus right through, front to back.
It's a beautiful shot and if I were voting would be a 9 or 10.

ugh, i hope you cleaned that up carefully after the photo. i was just listening to a report about mercury on the radio this morning ...
challenge -- met. creative idea.
technical -- very nice focus and reflection.
composition -- love the wood texture. i think i would've tried cropping this a little tighter, taking some off the top and the right side.

| Unique idea - like the reflections. Would like to see it cropped more. |

| We used to put mercury on dimes in science class - many years ago. Before they really found out it was too poisonious to handle. Beautiful reflection in it. I still have some old mercury switches to show my grandchildren. Great shot. Good subject. Would like to have seen this in color to show how silver in color it is. But still a 9 in my book, photo wise. PTL (Color would have been a 10 - sorry. That's a personal thing I realize) |

| Great framing. This composition lends itself to B&W just fine. I've always been kind of intrigued by Quicksilver. Good luck - Inspzil |

| Interesting idea. image would be better if greater magnification to see detail. Clean mercury gives good reflection |
|

| Neat idea. Where did you get the mercury from? Would have been a super photo if you had gotten closer to the drops to see more of the reflection they offered. |
|

| I would love to see something closer and with more interesting colors being reflected. Mercury is so intriguing! |

| Might have been better more tightly cropped with a plain background. |

| not a bad photo, just a little uninteresting, good lighting. Maybe a little different composition, like all in one ball and some kind of reflection in it, or something? I don't really know. |

| Great focus and lighting. Did you try it so that the biggest bead wasn't so centered? Don't know if it would have changed anything or not. karmat |

| I like the wood and the shinyness |
|

| Perhaps a little closer to see what the mercury was reflecting would have been even more impressive. Good photo, though. |

| Good composition. Tell me, how did you clean this up? |
|

11/11/2002 01:15:00 PM |
| Oh my! We're all going to die! haha! Nice shot. Really too bad the sky wasn't blue when you took the shot. Jacko. |

Great idea, well shot.
the only thing that bothers me is the scratch that runs down the frame. |

| I like the idea. Just some suggestion if you get closer to get the reflexion, play with colour both background and the subject. |

| Nice shot, but would like to see the mercury even closer. |
