Just goes to show how fickle voters can be even with G**gle at their fingertips...
I didn't think it was worth 10 for DPC but not 1,2,3,4 or 5 either!
Zur Farbenlehre contains some of the earliest and most accurate descriptions of phenomena such as coloured shadows, refraction, and chromatic aberration.
Keep up the good and thought provoking work.
I won't say I understand it (I Googled, too) and I'm sorry it didn't do well in the challenge. I *will* say that I think it's a marvelous image that I drooled over while it was in voting. With those wonderful colors & great sense of movement, it would look fabulous printed large.
Ridiculously, pathetically, shamefully underrated, and I say this as one of your 10's... What can people be thinking? Or *not* thinking, as the case may be? Sigh... 5th favorite now, just added.
Well, the "utterly outstanding, presumably doomed" comment makes up for it. lol

3 favorites now. I was sure I added it to my list during voting. I loved Bear_Music's comment: "Utterly outstanding, presumably doomed,". I really thought this would make it to the top.
You may have gotten slammed with a lot of low votes, but look at all the high ones and a very high commenter's average. I gave it a 9. One of those entries with strong appeal for a narrow group, which makes for a success in my book. I'm pleased to find out it was yours. Congrats on the Posthumous blue, it deserved it.
Thanks. I was pleased with it, but I didn't expect it to score well. I am quite astounded by how well it was received by some, though.
eta: The only thing that would have made this better is if I had placed 69/69.

Huh, wha? Never heard of the book, but farben is color. As someone who is in the printer business, I can attest that color management is certainly a science. At the same time, it is also a black art. Cool abstract, whatever it really is.
I doubt many people will know who Goethe is or what he did. Not 100% certain what this has to do with splitting a beam of light into the colour spectrum though. I will give you the benefit of the doubt though.
