The flow is similar to tie dye shirt and is easily seen. I like the contrast along with the widev range of colors.
Cool experiment to sandwich the fluids with two pieces of glass. The water and the water-based food dye did not mix with the oil, creating really interesting finger-like limbs. I really like your color choices, looks like splattered tie dye. Good job editing out the hole using clone stamp in Photoshop (or equivalent). A flat white background might make them pop out of the picture a little more, but overall I like your image. Great job!
This looks like something off of a tie-dye shirt. The focus is sharp and the details are clear. I think a black or white backdrop might make the colors look a little more dramatic. That being said, the image has a bright, happy feel as is.
I really like the colors and patterns in this photo. I find the background a little distracting though. Good job building your own set up.
Great composition, the rule of thirds really worked in your favor. The texture and color of the background add a little confusion to the image.
Great colors! Cool visual effect. The partial mixing of the colors is very interesting, Really good lighting and contrast.
I like how you cropped the photo, rule of thirds worked well for you! Colors are beautiful.
The vibrant colors are very appealing in illustrating the HS cell effect. The image does not seem well resolved, either focus is set to far/close or the aperture/f-stop is throwing of the depth of field.
Art: Really awesome colors
Flow: Flow is clearly illustrated and easy to understand
Technique: I like how you can see the blue water splat in the top left and then the fingers of the oil spread out from there, this makes the flow very easy to understand
Nice coloring, I like the representation of the fluid flow. Photoshopping out the hole was a nice effect, I could see that being distracting. Nice photo!
Great color range, it seems to be a little out of focus but it still is a very cool and vibrant image.
I really like the fingering effect that you managed to capture in your photograph. I would be interested to see what it looks like under a black light with a black background.
I like the fact that the flow fills up most of frame. The colors are quite nice, i wish the image was a little more resolved
Cool photo. The contrast is really cool. And the streaking is very interesting. Portrays a sense of movement. I like the layering
Love how colorful the image is. The green and red mixing in the bottom right is my favorite part of the image. Maybe add a little more brightness. Wonderful work
I like the creative way creating the flow. Nice color contrast in the photo. It would be nice if the focus was a little tighter but i imagine that it is tough to focus on the subject. Overall great photo
Nice color range! I wish the background was more uniform so that we could see the flow effects more clearly. The dye did a great job helping visualize this effect, pretty awesome!
Great contrast in color. I like the symmetric spread of the fluid and how it changes color as the fluid expands outward.
I really like the explosion of colors, very vibrant and have a neon look. Cool apparatus to capture the mixing of colors.
Image seems a little blurry. However, the contrast is excellent and the colors are vibrant. The partial mixing created a really cool effect in the colors.
Cool image! I like the colors and the color contrast. The focus could be better. The light is good
I like the variety of colors! Sometimes, while staring at the image, it seems like the colors are still moving. Cool!
