 The tools of the trade for an entomologist.

The hardest part in taking this was to not overexpose the light butterfly or underexpose the remainder.

Compositionally this is good, it has all the elements associated with the subject and all nicely placed. The hand gives it a nice dimension of being just a little bit more than a still life. I can certainly see science in this image. The lighting is good and the image is clean. It may appeal more to those who have an interest in entomology, but it is still a well-captured image.

Great photo! The only thing I can think of to critique is that the book cover is contrasty and distracting. Other than that, I think you've got a good chance of being in the running.I'm giving it an 8. Good luck!

Ah yes, reminds me of my insect taxonomy days. Good interpretation.

Very nice set up. Not overly busy, good lighting. Most important aspects are well focused. This truly says 'entomology' to me. Clean photo, I like the human addition with the hand, keeps it from being a boring cold image of bug science. :) 7

Excellent composition and framing. Conveys the feeling of doing the actual entomology identifications.

Very good capture here. Not much I can add, except I'm not sure the hand was needed.

I think the composition could have been better as well as lighting and contrast. 7

Good shot! I like how you showed Entomology 'at work' instead of just showing a butterfly and having the person assume the science referenced.

I like the angle of view. It does seem a little too busy for me though.

Good interpretation of the subject.

Excellent! Shows the true scientist at work! Oh, and is that YOUR hairy hand? :)

Definitely portrays the subject of science. Nice clarity and choice of lighting. I like the composition.
