I live fairly close to the Grand Union Canal (south of B'ham), and this picture looks tremendous. The wrought ironwork in the foreground adds depth - I look forward to seeing this finished :)

Deeply etched dendrites (cobalt samarium copper)

Mal (Nov 22, 2005)

SEM micrograph of pro-eutectic dendrites from a Co 70 Sm 10 Cu20 (at%) alloy. The alloy has been deeply etched with 10% nitric acid in ethyl alcohol (10%Nital) to remove the eutectic material between the primary dendrites.

GAH! It makes me think of biology! *runs and hides* but I like how you did the perspective

This has a great feeling of depth. Strangely enough, it reminds me of the time I was about 4 and my sister took me to the park. I was on the jungle gym and almost to the top and I fell. It seemed like I hit every damn bar on the way down to a mouthful of yummy dirt.

constructive critisism :p

Gigandas (edited Nov 15, 2005)

Constructive criticism is more like, "You may want to use some darker shades of gray (or even shades closer to black) to give this piece more contrast to achieve an overall stronger sense of dimension," where you point out something that may need fixing and offer a suggestion on how they may go about fixing it...

I'm off to phone my mother to tell her the nine years I spent studying psychology weren't wasted. (But I already know what she's going to say: And posting unwanted comments on the drawings of total strangers isn't a waste of time?!)

Punky (Nov 14, 2005)

I like the "your boss is an asshole" explanation, but whatever floats your boat. :)

Anyways, cool picture, I like the small details on the penny, though the marble bugs me a little bit. :D

Mal (Nov 14, 2005)

hA ha , I like your interpretation R. I'm a student though and my supervisor is great. However I do feel a bit poor and down trodden at the moment BUT the 28th is pay day ! Thanks for the comments everyone :-)

R. (Nov 14, 2005)

When did they start paying students?! Sic transit gloria mundi!
