This image examines fluid motion of immiscible flow, specifically predicting the shape of various droplets of oil on water. Additionally, we study the reflection and diffusion of light across varying droplet thicknesses.

The reflections in the droplets give this a super-polished, futuristic feel. The contrast and color are great; a bit more midtone clarity might help separate the foreground droplets from the background.
This is one of my favorite photos from this set. The bubbles show surface tension and immiscibility beautifully. The composition of the image, the distribution of large and small oil bubbles, the contrast in colors, and the close-up focus that brings out the reflections and refractions inside each droplet, all combine to create a very aesthetic result.
This is an incredibly stunning photograph and is something we could see in the EC lobby! I am looking foward to the other projects you work on.
