Very cool image with ferrofluid! I really like the black oily fluid on a green background, it creates a great contrast in this image. This is not one of the classic ferrofluid images, but I really like how the fluid looks to be suspended and creating long tails like the one in the background. Great job capturing this image with good lighting bringing out the fine detail in he tiny droplets!
The image is aesthetically pleasing. The contrast is great with the sea green background. Nicely done
This image is super cool. I love the greenish tone of the surrounding fluid. Good focus on the ferrofluid drops. I like the framing also. A really nice submission, congrats.
Really well resolved and really cool. I like the mixture of fine and large particles. I appreciate your patients to take several photos and get one with better composition
Actually I really like this photo even though it wasnt what you were going for. I like the focus and the colors.
The contrasting depths between the foreground and the background create a 3D effect that adds to the image. I wonder if cropping out some of the dead space on the left and blurry, black fluids on the left would highlight the more interesting effects in the middle of the image more so.
The green background with the black fluid gives an alien like vibe!
I like the dramatic contrast in the image. The set up sounds really creative. I like how the string of dark fluid is softened due to your aperture and focus at the front of the image.
Love how this is framed. The concentration of fluid in the top right corner is beautiful contrasted with the snakey one and all the little specs. Love the blueish green tint, gives it a really nice contrast!
I like the focus on the front drops. The way the picture is framed it really draws your eyes straight to the large drops with that small tail. great job!
I love the different layers in the photo, as it adds great depth. The colored alcohol solution makes the photo look super cool.
Beautiful image! I love the colors and contrast. The focus is great. Well done, good editing
Good work team. The green is pretty sweet, and the way you captured it settling is very cool.
this reminds of mint chocolate chip ice cream. I like the way that the fluid clumps up and provides a depth of field from the fluid in the foreground and the background
Excellent focus on the front drops, adds a really nice effect with the blurrier background. Nice contrast between the black fluid and background. The focused small drops nicely to the image.
Love the bright teal color. Contrasts well with the black. Very modern feel. I like the specs that show up all over the image. Nice detail of flow.
Really cool capture of fluid phenomena, I like the colors presented and the unique shape of the oil falling.
Nice photo, the fluid flow is nicely represented. I like how it’s suspended in the solution, sort of frozen in time.
