Comment by Zed Pobre:
I suspect the problem was that you forced the voters to read. Remember, you get only about three seconds from the average viewer, even if you do highlight the exact text they need. This got a 9 from me at the time, though in protest over the poorly designed challenge description, I didn't comment on anything.

My breakdown:

Relevance: 5
Technical: +1 (flawless highlighting of "each color is refracted by the prism" across three refracted colors gets you one of my very rare technical bonuses)
Interest: +2
Emotion: +0
Bias: +1 (I like anything that promotes science)

This is a bit discouraging. 50 or so votes at 3 or less, but no comments to tell me why they think it is a 'bad' photo.
Thank you very, very much to those who did make comments - I'm good at ideas, but a photo obviously needs to have a more universally aesthetic appeal to do well. I'm learning.

I think the dpc concept and website is the best ever. Kudos to all of you who keep it going. I'll be a paid member soon.

Neat idea. The modern book is a bit distracting from the intended time... 7

Nice idea - you're lucky it did not go up in flames in the great fire.

Thank you to those who voted and commented. Now I have something to improve upon. My wife said, "Are you sure everyone will understand it"?
