Can 7th place be underrated?

The Day Rests (H2O)

Comment:
Really beautiful shot. Pity that you wasted it here since it doesn't fit periodic tale at all, but would have made a terrific entry for the Free Study. Still, a photo to be proud of!

The centered, face-on composition isn't particularly moving IMO, but you know your CuRRENCY!

LOL- now that's my kind of title. The photo doesn't exactly compel me to think "element," but it's a fine shot in its own right and I have to give you credit for that title. ;-)

Great subject, not so great light. Dramatic lighting would have made a HUGE difference on this one and helped define the crystalline structure.

Element: Iron (Ore) Symbol: Fe
by Delta_6

Comment:
Um... it's a rock. OK, I understand it may be iron ore, but you didn't DO anything with it to make a visual connection with "element." Maybe carve an "Fe" symbol into the surface or put a puff of smoke behind it and call it a steam iron. Something, anything to make an interesting story. As-is, every single voter will look at this and think, "It's just a rock." :-(

A very strong image with great color and composition, but your score will probably get hit for DNMC since mercury is silver (this is tinted alcohol).

Awesome job- you absolutely nailed the challenge. The background chart is a little crooked, but otherwise a perfect entry, and my pick for the blue! 10
