A droplet of molten aluminum cools almost instantly upon contacting the ground, freezing it as a splatter.

Great focus and resolution, it looks like a professional shot
Good focus on the droplet. I like the idea of having an old drop in the back. I know it was probably just a failed attempt but it does add a nice effect to the overall photo.
The splatter effect is illustrated really well because your choice of using a fluid that solidifies quickly at room temperature. I have never seen an effect where there are two distinct arms that expand as a result of the splatter until now and it draws my eye.
Interesting. Would you expect some kind of corona similar to the corona you would see with a droplet splash?
The aluminum drop is interesting, I think the arms stretching out is a really cool effect. A neat visualization from welting.
Nice fliud, cool use of the physics. Nice color and vignetting in the image.
Cool focus in this image. I like the shape of the drop and the contrast of the colors of the aluminum with the table.
Awesome experiment and I really like the focal point you chose.
Nice job. A peculiar flow.
I love the contrast of texture here. This is quite beautiful.
Cool image. Nice focus.
