Glitter is poured into a vase of water, creating a swirling jet and amplifying visible flow patterns caused by the fast-moving stream hitting the still water.

Hi Katya, I really like how the dark background of this image showcases the flow phenomena you are capturing. I also think the inclusion of the glitter was a smart choice to especially capture movement of the water as it flows and diffuses into the vase.
I think that it is cool how the glitter blends in with some of the bubbles, but adds more sparkle to them. I wonder what the image would have looked like if you had lit the image from the bottom. You would need to be careful not to spill water on your light if you did that!
