I know this won't score well, but I couldn't resist. There will be lots of great shots this week, different lighting techniques, etc that I am looking forward to seeing. I didn't have time to get a good liquid shot, so I went with this wonderful picture of Ethan! Enjoy!!

My first impression is that this is not appealing at all. Not pleasant to look at, and makes me wrinkle up my face with discust.
However, technically, this shot is great.
The focus and clarity are unfortunately perfect. Great detail in everything. The kids eyes are stunning.
The closeness is great. And actually, I Tried this with a crop right above his upper lip, and I think that works even more. His eyes are really powerful, and you could use that to your advantage here. I'd like to see this with just the eyes and nose. And snot of course, or it wouldn't meet the challenge. lol
I think that the lighting is just fine. Not to bright, not too dark. If I HAD to make a suggestion, I'd suggest trying a little more lighting, but totally not absolutely needed.
Overall technically well done, just not something I'd like to look at for a long time.

Absolutely revolting, but I love it! Incredible eyes. You captured the complexion well. Nicely composed. 9
EDIT: Hmph, I don't understand the way you've selected comments as helpful here. Was this not helpful?
Good one! I swear I laughed out loud at this! Not something I do often while sitting in front of the computer on my own! Good crop too, no doubting that most of that snot is liquid! I tell you, he/she has great eyes!
I like the 'in your face' (pun intended) feel of this too.....
Not the most wonderful of liquids but an amazing concept on the challenge. Wonderfully in focus from the eyes to the teeth with the snot inbetween, nicely done.
