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.

Comment by PTLParsons:
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
