Stargazer in alcohol. I'm an ichthyologist so I don't exactly suscribe to this philosophy. How would we learn about the diversity of life without studying preserved organisms?

Thanks, Tom! This is fun. I saw that you figured me out with about 2 minutes to go. Your "Hanging by a Thread" was a cool idea and a great photo! I can see I have a long way to go.....

Good lighting and composition with an interesting subject. But the message it gives me is that science is interesting, not necessarily cruel.

Stark composition, makes it impossible to ignore. Wish there weren;t glare off the jar top, and reflections in the jar. Seems to tilt a bit to the right. Nice deatil in the fish (?)

Not sure the fish is "cuddly" enough to be best choice of subject to convey the message in the title but an interesting idea. Personally not keen on composition - bottle seems to have been placed off centre for no particular reason other than attempt not to have it centred - doesn't really balance or feel right.

powerful image, it might lean a bit too heavily on the title to fit the challenge. Good light - the spot at the top of the bottle is a distraction but the overall good composition, clarity, focus

What a sensational fish! Black background works well, lighting on the fish is excellent. I find the glare at the top a little distracting, but no worse than that.

Would have been better if the animal was a common science test critter (white mouse?). Good framing and light.

Nicely composed, the glare on to top of the jar is a little distracting though.

You did well with a difficult lighting situation. Only offering I have is to try and shoot the light through something to diffuse/spread the light out more. This will minimize the hot spot on the glass. Also, having some light on the table doesn't hurt, it keeps the bottle from looking like it is floating. 6 -danny

Although the subject isn't very strong (I can't make out what it is supposed to be), you fit the propaganda theme quite well. I think the light is a little too hard (especially the reflections on top of the jar are distracting).
