Great shot! Good composition, pose, lighting, DOF. And your model even has a typical "scientist face" with the glasses and all. ;-)

I was planning to do something similar, but didn't have time in the end. I want to see this one on the front page!

I'm sorry, but this is clearly DNMC. This challenge is about the "science of chemistry".

I find it a pity when I have to lower the score of a beautiful image because it doesn't meet the challenge. However, here I don't have this problem. This picture is more of a snapshot. The composition is random, we cannot see the couple's faces and the background is full of distractions. I really don't understand why you submitted this image.

Chemically Altered Experience

Oh my. People are not going to like this, I predict tons of 1s and maybe comments like "You glorify drug use!"

It's a good idea for the challenge, but technically I'm not thrilled by the image. And the pose seems unnatural.

Now Kids, Don't Try This At Home

Fun idea, but it doesn't work for me. The two cups, their position and contents indicate that this is the moment before some kind of chemical reaction occurs. The expressions on the kids' faces as well as the dirt on their faces and clothing, however, looks like this was taken after a chemical reaction. Well, one could say that this is just one experiment in a whole series and that they've already been at it all afternoon, but then again the expressions don't fit. They're not expressions of expectation, they seem like a reaction to an unexpected event.

Beautiful shot, Chris. Using French titles seems to help; I'll try that next time. ;-)
