Black ink is injected into water using a dropper resulting in several instability patterns.

Aesthetically very pleasing, like a Rorschach image. The flow is nice and multi layered. Overall pleasant to look at
Very cool contrast going on here. I wish that you could see just a smidge more of the flow inside of the black mass in the center of the flow. Maybe decrease shadows? really cool photo overall though
The contrast in this image is magnificent. The texture of the ink is visible in the image and quite appealing. Well focused, good work.
You did lose a little detail in the shadows but it makes the image more mysterious which is nice. I love how wispy the boundaries in the lighter portions of the plumes are.
The image captured a very elegant formations and the focus and resolution show the exterior details very well. As mentioned, the blacks in the middle of the image are very saturated and thus you lose some of the details of the 3d depth.
The black ink absorbs a lot of the light and is hard to see the fluid flow. However, the image is still amazing and provides great contrast against the white background.
This image is very well done. I am very impressed with how the image is perfectly centered. It makes me think of an octopus that is actually made of ink. I love the fact that the ink is dark enough to perfectly contrast the background, which in turn contrasts the ink giving it good artistic merit. I really like this image. Well done.
Awesome image. Has great contrast, but some of the motion is covered up because the black is so dark. Overall asthetically pleasing.
1. The image is contrasting and artistic.
2. The fluid physics are well shown.
3. The photographic technique is good.
Very nice use of black and white, great contrast with background. The image seems a little flat without shadowing, but it is neat and nonetheless an interesting phenomenon.
Amazing black and white image. Nice bright white background makes for no distracting parts. Some of the detail is lost in the thick black portion in the middle. Overall great image.
I really like the contrast in this photo. some contrast is lost in the image which could be brought out but overall nice work!
Amazing image shows the ink in the water. I love the distinct comparison of white and black color! The shape of ink flow looks elegant.
