I chose this image because it’s a natural phenomena that appears as a striking visual but also shows a marked boundary in the flow as the river carries different colored sediments through each of providing a visualization of the waters movement within the river.

Second prize! This image is beautiful, and it is incredible to think that these patterns occur naturally. The flow of the rivers is very easy to visualize, especially through the different colors.
Third prize – Such a beautiful image with striking contrast. I love that it is naturally occurring phenomena with such a unique pattern and distinct colors. Really emphasizes the saying art imitates life.
Second Prize
This is a great image that shows the movement of water on a large scale. The colors blend to create beautiful color gradients with the intertwining flows. Scientifically its cool to see where the water flows and the mixing occurring within the flow.
First Prize: It’s cool how the sedement reveals different stream lines and stream tubes in the flow and you can see how the flow changes as the structures change from laminar to turbulent in different regions.

This image was really visually striking. I almost didn’t know what I was looking at until I read the description. The braided formation occurring is really mesmerizing and an amazing display of flow.
Second Prize
I think this image is really beautiful and the color gradient is stunning. It’s interesting that the rivers merge and separate over and over again which is highlighted by the color gradient.
Second Prize – This is a beautiful image, I love how the colors have an ombre effect. From a scientific perspective, it’s a great way to see turbidity and how different sediments move through the river.
