I really like the pink background color you used for this. It adds an element of visual intrigue.
I like your choice of colors! Is the Worthington jet darker because of the dye from your blue drop, or is it darker because of the lighting? The jet looks much smoother than a water based jet, which is probably because of the cornstarch that you used.
It’s cool that you can see two nearly spherical droplets and that the elevated region is darker from the shadows and the blue dye
Nice image! I really enjoyed the juxtaposition between the dark bubbles near the top and the overall pink vibe that you get from this photo, it really makes this common phenomenon way more interesting than I’ve ever seen it before!
