this is cool - i just don't like the composition as much as i want to ... i think the mercury's strange tendencies are limiting ... oh well - cool idea. 6

Very unique shot although the background is a bit distrtacting and the mercury drops seem kinda dull and flat.

I like this. My mercury is lighter. The color should be different unless you have a reason.

I like the idea of using the mercury as the metal! I'd like to see the subject a little off center rather than centered.

Very neat background and lovely compliment to the two mercury blobs. Lighting is shimmery and very, very nice. Sharp. 10
