 Picture of popcicle plastic trays with water in them. I placed the cover and shined a flashlight through the holes where the sticks go. The green is from changes in temperature and tint during raw conversion as well as saturation.

I've had a matrix kick on my last couple entries with "The Number 10" as well. That didn't seem to go well so this should be score suicide but oh well, I think its fun. =)

* Greetings from the Critique Club *

Hi Jason. I got visions of Homer Simpson and the nuclear plant when I first saw this. As Shutterpug said, looks very biohazardous.

This was a great idea to attempt to capture. I find it hard to locate the main point of focus though. The front popcicles look soft. I would of tried a different DOF to try and get a larger focal area.

With the framing that you have used it looks like the popcicle on the right is very out of place as it doesn't seem to line up well with the others. It just seems to be sitting off to the side, if you know what I mean. Perhaps you could of cropped it out of the frame altogether?

You seemed to get a mixed response from your comments about the border. I'm a big border fan so it doesn't distract me at all.

All up I just don't think it really clicked with a lot of the voters but it ended up with a nice even spread of votes. Well done and good effort. Best of luck in future challenges.

Neil
