Fluorescence: bringing color in a chemists life

Yiipeeeeee!
I'm thrilled! Never have thought I could win!
Thanx so much to everybody!
And congrats to all other winners: it has been a tight race!

It has been a really exiting week for me.
When the challenge was called out 2 weeks ago, I instantly thought "That's something for the colorful dyes in the lab."
So I grabbed a few of them, made solutions and mixtures, filled them into the cells for spectroscopic measurement (polished quartz-glass), placed them on a mirror, put a UV-lamp next to them (you see its blue light in the reflections) and illuminated myself from below. That's it!
Only a little sharpening and contrast enhancing was done later.

So thanx again everybody on this wonderfull site!

Jörg

I have problems with the coloration: the rock looks like it's bleeding.
I like the strong contrast of the left rock from its sunny side to the dark side.

Great perspective and use of DOF. The lower right corner is a little bright to me.

Great idea, especially showing a shadow that long. But the upper part with the houses distract a little.

That's one of the few submissions showing somebody really working. Would have loved it, if the picture would be less "snap-shoty" and better composed.

Compared to the other "computer" submissions it shows a working place. Too overexposed though.

Though a touch too overexposed, it would have made a nice entry for the technology challenge!
But here?
