Such a beautiful image! Love the colors and the flow is exceptionally clear to see. Really well done!
This looks almost viral, kind of like a shot through a microscope in a petri dish. I love the sharp, vibrant colors against the background.
This one really spoke out to me! I thought it came out super well and I loved the color choices in this specific photo
I really like the colors, it was amazing that you didn’t have to change it much. The motion blur on the top helps my eyes sweep from top, to top left, to bottom right.
The colors used in this image are very vibrant, the focus is pretty well done. I like the how you shot in macro.
Amazing. the contrast of the image and flow physics reminds of lava.
I’m a little bit unsure of what’s happening in the top left of the picture. Nicely resolved and framed.
The colors are very vibrant, and the motion blur really emphasizes the circular movement of the fluid. The image has a nice diagonal dividing it in half.
Great color and detail in the image. I love the small beads of fluid along the edges of the swirls. Maybe consider a slightly faster shutter speed to mitigate motion blur.
Love cool colors using ferrofluid. It almost looks like a lava flow. Clearly shows how ferrofluid works with magnet.
I really love the flow and composition, as well as the vibrant, warm colors. Great swirls and structures inside the flow. Overall, just very nice combination of color, motion and shapes.
Very nice color contrast with red and yellow. Ferrofluid is always cool.
I would hang this one on my wall. The focus is really good and the color contrast really stands out. The motion blur in the corners and different textures fit well together.
The colors in the image are really striking. The swirls made a really nice aesthetic.
Great image, i like the colors. Also, the black background is great for the image. Overall very nice, nothing I would change.
The colors on this image are awesome. You get an almost lava like feel here. I really like the contrast too got as well. Really well done
I love this image! great job, its beautiful!!!
The image has very vibrant colors, appearing scaly on the edges with the ferrofluid.
The vibrant colors are really interesting. The focus is done really well, and the color contrast make the pigment look almost like a lava flow.
This image is so striking! I really like the swirl of colors, mixing of colors, and your choice of using ferrofluid as negative space. The motion blur adds to the feeling of activity in the image.
Looks like lava, the contrast between the smooth flow and all of the bubbles is extremely fascinating, complimented by the pitch blackness in the other corner. Good choice not cropping that out.
Very vibrant effect and colors. The white bubbly edges really juxtaposes with the smooth flow
The swirling of the colors is really mesmerizing. This makes me think of molten lava due to the colors overall.
This is very interesting. The contrast of the crisp bubbles to the streak of color works well. Absolutely beautiful.
Really nice image with great contrast
I love the colors, and the motion blur on the top left corner is super interesting. The background also works super well.
This is so captivating, it reminds me of magma flowing on a surface. Overall, great iso speed, contrast, and exposure.
I love how bright the colors are in this image. The flow is captured beautifully and reminds me of lava. The tiny bubbles are also really cool to see.
There is a great dynamic feel to the image and the color scheme makes this image seem reminiscent of a fire.
