This is an interesting and well though out image. Love the blue BG. I don't find the yellow/green cast in the smoke especially appealing. It could be unavoidable, or perhaps it was intended as part of the statement; but aesthetically, it doesn't do much for me.
I find it humorous that the first thing I thought was "Cingular". What a sad statement about our society that marketing has permeated our ability to view art objectively! On the other hand; it does say something about the quality of your composition. Definitely catchy.
The FG is nice and the holes create repetition and mimic the shapes of the beakers. However, it seems as though the focus is on the FG at the expense of what I consider the most important elements (beakers).
The organic shapes are very nice and I find myself looking for patterns in the smoke, as I do in clouds. Despite the minor technical foibles, I find this to be a very strong image. |

| this reminds me of those verizon commercials with the bars of reception shown in every day life. It appears the the glasses are out of focus abit, especially if you look at the circles in the forground they are sharpest about two cirlces in front of the glasses, i think this loses some of the impact of the photo. I do like the lighting though |

| Very mysterious! Makes me wonder how you made the smoke in the background. |

I like this, it's really different and it fits the catagory.
It also reminded me a bit of the Cingular commercials. (Which is a compliment considering the millions they must spend on advertising). Good luck with the challenge. I gave you a 10. |

| I like the idea - color is good (blue seems to do well on DPC) but the smoke is too much of a blob - it kinda overwhelms the picture a bit. |

| I have no idea what this is, but I like it a lot. The smoke through the glass is cool and I love that shade of blue. |

| I like the idea here a lot and the vials of water and the grid base are visually interesting, but I find the smoky, fractally background thing a bit distracting. I think it needs some background element, which is nicely refracted in the water, but this particular pattern doesn't work for me. |

| Glass vessels with transparent liquid, smoke, blue color - somebody's out to please the crowd. I, for one, am bored with shots like these. Sorry. |
