OK, one exceptionally good entry so far… I would like to get everyone’s opinion on this subject as an entry… As a stand alone shot does it really say “chilly” or “steamy”? or do I need to think outside another box?:dunno

    Well I think it looks cold. But the problem is I don't know what "it" is. Water in a paint bucket? Liquid nitrogen in an industrial strength thermos? Apart from that, it also is a very isolated shot, and without understanding the context, I'm not seeing it.

    I agree. It may look good in a science book or web site. It seems to be technicaly quite a good image but lacks impact.

    I agree... back to the drawing board... By the way, your second guess was correct, it is Liquid nitrogen in an industrial strength thermos... very chilly, around
    -195 DEG C :D

    Now pull a frozen plastic ball out of it and get a shot of it shattering on the floor...that might be something. I saw this in chemistry class once - very impressive!

    Hey! They did that in my science class too! That would be a neat pic to see.
