 Different grades of crude from the East Painter reservoir fields, Uinta County, Wyoming - an example of compositional gradient.

I'm guessing this is probably the most literal of all the entries in this challenge. Hope you like it.

This image looks very stock-like. Its sharp, clean and well lit and exposed, the guy in the background is in just the right depth of field spot - not so much that he distracts from the foreground subject and not so blurred that we cannot tell what it is. Very well executed and really adds to the image.

With the references 'petro' and 'crude' I'm guessing this is some partially distilled samples of oil and this explains the fairly narrow choice of colours from the rainbow - indeed you have made a good selection with what you have. I'd have scored this higher if it was a bit more 'out of the box' but as it is I give this an 8.

nice perspective shot - i especially like how you showed real colors of chemicals rather than colored water.

good idea, seems it could be a little sharper

it might just be me... but it seems like it is slightly tilted. or could be the angle of the mans shoulders making it look tilted.

I like the use of the depth of field to direct focus.
