traced periodic table onto glass sheet with a permanent marker. My son behind the glass. Natural sunlight from big window
and this is Best Beloved helping with the initial set up:
Post Challenge: Thanks for the great comments - the tons of views and the high score. My score was all over the place this week - dropped to a 5.8 at one point and then did a slow slow climb up to 6.6 and then the last few votes dropped it to 6.5 again. It worked out well. I know the writing is backwards to Finn, a few reasons for that - none of which are important now...

Congrats Caroline! I knew this was yours the second I saw it, you've definitely got a style (and a familiar model). I thought for sure this one was going to place 3rd.
One of my faves as well. Congrats on the top5. I recognized the young lad , from the shot where he was painting the airplane model :) Didn't rememer from which challenge it was from though.
This is very well executed, it's awful hard to write backwards;) Other than the point of the pencil, however, there is little that screams Tungsten, so, while I question the choice of title, that has little (if any) effect on scoring. Nice shot!
I really enjoy how "scientific" the kid looks, I like that you chose to focus on him instead of on the periodic table, would love to see how you made this.
fantastic portrait, I love it. One thing I am kind of wondering about is why he is writing "backwards". I understand it is to help us see what he is writing, but it feels a little bit contrived. Anyway, great work!
Not exactly sure how you did this, but I like the image. It strikes me that his eye is focused on the camera rather than on what he is supposedly writing on.
the challenge was to take an interesting, creative photo of one of the elements of the periodic table. while a nice photo, for me this doesnt really meet the challenge.
