 [One of my first try with my new camera (olympus E-520) with the 14-42 lens.]

There is Silice all around us : glass, bottles, window, but in computer too... or in the aquarium ! That's why I choosed this element to take a picture for this challenge.

I just hope you enjoy it. All rates are wellcomed ! =)

Greetings from the critique club...

I was not able to vote for this challenge, but if I had, I would probably have given this image a 4.

Overall, the subject is not very clear. I am able to decifer what it is, but most people would probably have a hard time figuring it out. It appears to be a thermometer on a glass table/tray. The first thing I would do to improve this photograph, is to include the thermoter in the crop, as opposed to having it's reflection. Right now, you are showing 1/4 object and 3/4 object's reflection. If you reversed this ratio, the composition would be easier to understand.

You have also chosen a subject that many people do not understand. This will also affect your score as your image is being judged by a broad base of people, from different race, religion and countries.

Good luck with your future entries.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

If I remember correctly from Chem class, Si is Silicon, right?

The reflection of the lights and such is distracting. And I guess I'm not getting the before and after part so much... But what so I know? I got a D in Chemistry. :P

I have no idea what I'm looking at here. I recognize the thermometer floater thing, but no idea what the black stuff is on the table.
