Greetings from the Critique Club :)
Hi Gerard...
Your color in this shot is phenomenal and the color against the white has great effect also. That creates some stark contrast that enhances your color very well. The image also has an excellent abstract quailty to it while not totally alienating the viewer with some object that is unidentifiable.
The diagonal composition also works very well.. I'm glad you did not decide to compose it in such a way that the thermomenter exited the frame in both corners...
I have no suggestions for improvement on this photo... I like it just the way it is... excellent work :)
Keep it up :)
John Setzler

Thanks for all the comments! I thought of using the Galileo themometer (again) for this challenge, since there are so many great colours in it. I also thought I could do something creative with light, liquid and glass.
At first I had planned to have the thermometer in the upper third with the light shining through making a coloured shadow. After a bit of experimentation, I took this shot without a tripod from an overhead angle so that the coloured shadows were restricted to behind the glass itself.
I did think of coming in closer and reducing the white space, but I wanted to show the range of colours from red to blue.
This was photographed outside with just bright sunlight.
I used unsharp mask on the final image and tweaked the levels a little to even out the white background, though at the expense of losing a little detail in the white highlights.

| I think it's the reflections on the bottom of this shot that keep it from doing the colors any justice. I like the composition, though I wish you could see the red a bit more (maybe flip the whole thing around?). |

| Damn what happened to my comment? Arggh... okay what did I say? I think it was something like "Great abstract. Nice clarity, colours, focus, and composition." But it was more eloquent. Sorry, the words escape this time around. |

| Fabulous colors! I especially love the saturation and the angle you have shot this at. White background seems perhaps a bit overpowering for the rest of the scene... my opinion only! |
