That’s an amazing coronet you captured! The image is sharp and the subject is in focus. Whoever thought to put a golf ball in milk?!
Great shot, I like that you were able to get the photo while the ball made impact but before it got covered! Unreal. Artistically it actually does look a little unreal, great work.
art: Lovely. It would be interesting to post process to bring out the dirt.
flow: Unreal coronet! Gorgeous!!
technique: Glorious! So beautiful and crisp!!
Nice capture. Awesome that you got it on the first shot. It almost looks like the golf ball is floating mid air. Almost wish I could see the whole corona but still well framed, and well lit.
I wish the angle was wider so the entire flow is captured. It might be interesting to study how the dimples on the golf ball effect the flow.
Great job capturing this at the right moment. The lighting also turned out very nicely.
Unreal shot. The timing is perfect and I love the resolution. Such a sharp image catching a quick instance
This is one of my favorite images. The focus of the light hitting that one dimple on the top of the ball is very cool and the flow of the liquid splashing out is captivating.
Excellent framing and focus, the scene appears suspended in time. I like the specular highlights on the ball and the fluid. The timing was incredible.
This is pretty cool. It feels very similar to the famous crown picture. Maybe if you’d capture it from a different angle it would show the crown more. The dirt on the golf ball is a bit distracting from the crown though. Great focus and exposure.
Art
Nice! Intent was realized. Things are just-about time resolved.
Flow
the splash and crown is soo cool.
Photographic Technique
It’s great you got this on the first try. Everything looks great.
Very nice image, I can take weeks to produce something looks like that. Beautiful lighting, and the image shows many physics phenomenons!
-Great representation of the flow, the crown is very neat.
-I like the colors but the dirty golf ball kind of takes away from the image.
The timing and focus are impeccable. Really great capture of the crown effect. A clean ball would have been a nice, though!
Nice focus and light exposure. The timing was just perfect. I can see your effort on your photo.
This is a fantastic image! The splash creates a very interesting shape, and the way the golf ball looks dry in the middle of the liquid is fascinating. The image is well focused, and the cropping is well done.
That is crazy this was the first shot. The focus is great, and the crown developing in the milk is captured very well.
I really enjoy the clarity and crispness of the image overall. It really allows you to see everything in the image.
Excellent job on the capturing the flow at this instant in time. This illustration does well at capturing movement in a still photo.
Really good focus and lucky shot on the first try. I think you could have tried with a cleaner ball but good image otherwise.
I really like this image. The focus is really well done and I love white milk with the white golf ball. The coronet is really nice.
Maybe see what it looks like in black and white?
Wow! Great timing in the shot. It’s very crisp and cropped well to focus in.
Super impressive, the focus and exposure are perfect, and compositionally this is excellent. Well done
Really cool concept, I like the golf ball. Great lighting and contrast. Overall good image, I wouldn’t change a thing about it.
Very beautiful picture, interesting idea. Very colorful and good focus. Good framing.
This is a really cool photo! The physics of the flow are clearly visible and the image itself has great clarity. Was the golf ball not clean on purpose or was it just an after all. Overall I really like this one!
The ball looks like it’s suspended in midair. The crown effect is really nice, though the focus is more on the ball rather than the flow, maybe try a few different angles of images to capture the full effect.
The focus and lighting are done very well. I’m mesmerized by the splash ring, but the golf ball text is a bit distracting.
The picture is really cool and the splash is awesome. The use of coconut milk is a cool picture. Maybe try to center the ball next time.
Very beautiful crown effect along with the spot on focus and reflection. Maybe adjust the coloring a bit so that the flow stands out
Beautiful image, nice focus, exposure and timing. I like the reflection on the golf ball, really highlight the image.
This is awesome. I like how it almost looks like the golf ball is still dry, and how the splash looks like it is engulfing the golf ball.
Great picture demonstrating an impact region between a liquid and a solid. The coronet is highly present and pleasing to look. Furthermore, the contrast between whites is highly compelling.
Timing is really good in this image, I like that the perimeter of the golf ball forms a perfect silhouette
Very cool picture. The idea is great, the focusing looks great too.
Focus and exposure are spot on. The shutter speed also seems to work very well. Maybe one way to play around with this piece would be to try our different cropping styles?
This photo is incredible! Your focus is perfect and the timing is very well done! Must of been hard or youre really good at this! Nice work
This is a really cool picture. Very good focus on the golf ball and the milk. Photo is nicely cropped to get the main focus on the golf ball. Must have taken many photos to get such a good picture.
Crisp and clear image technique. Subject is cropped and in focus. Very cool image that must have taken many tries to get the motion of the golf ball entering the fluid.
Outstanding timing and focus, may gain from adding color or using a different type of ball.
