I put almond milk on a plate and splattered water color paint on top of it. This image is the result of dumping that colored milk into the sink.

I wish this was a little more focused!
Very simple, easy to tell what’s going on. I am very surprised that your picture isn’t motion blurred. It looks nice. I think the contrast or gamma could be increased, but was impressed how you changed the saturation in different parts of the image.
Neat image. Perfect framing. The flow is clear but soft and really pleasant to look at. I’d love to see a white background to help accentuate the flow. Overall very beautiful.
I like the use of the rule of thirds in this, the offset flow from the center makes the photo more intriguing. The colors are nice and bright and the flow is captured well. The shutter speed was high enough to see sharp edges, but the colors are mixing well which is a cool contrast.
The colors make for a great display. The way that the flow twists near the bottom of the frame is interesting. The shadow makes for a nice effect in the background, but I would considering centering the flow and shadow.
I like the hourglass shape. It’s cool how the flow wraps about itself, creating this lovely fold 2/3 down the frame. The axis-switching effect is pretty unintuitive, I wonder if it would keep turning forever if there was no floor. The paint is a really nice aesthetic choice—it acts as a marker so that we can see where things are going.
Very interesting image, I like the inclusion of the fluid and its shadow. The colors against the solid background work very well. The image is a little grainy, maybe you could consider changing the ISO?
Nice framing! The softness is actually very satisfying. Your background isn’t distracting, which is great! I’d recommend more light so that the ISO could be lowered.
The colors are very nice in the image, the white backdrop does a great job at emphasizing the flow.
The colors and shapes are so cool. I would want this on my wall if it were a little better resolved (focus or time? Not sure). Great lighting and flow, though!
I like the colors and this is a cool spot of the flow to choose. I think there is something off about the focus or the ISO because it looks a little blurry or grainy.
I really like the color in this image and how you captured the pouring effect for your experiment. The lighting is really nice, same with your quality of the photo.
This image looks like computer graphics and it is truely beautiful. Nice lightening and background.
I wonder if you could use a faster shutter speed, a lower ISO and more lighting to resolve the flow more and reduce graininess. I really like that the flow is framed nicely and there are no distractions.
beautiful image, I love the soft look of the colors in the milk. Good job capturing the flow!
Cool image, I really like the colors. Great fluid flow and visualization. Overall very nice image.
i like the simplicity of the image. It is beautiful seeing the stream flow through the frame. The colors are very interesting and the lighting is well done as well.
Amazing capture of the colors. The flow is very apparent from the still image. I like your use of lighting to create the background shadow.
This is a cool image. The twist in the flow, and the stretching of the food coloring are very interesting. The image is a bit grainy, though.
The pouring flow is interesting with the mix of the colors. You are able to see the individual colors stretching which is cool.
This is a really cool image. The colors are appealing and the flow physics are clearly visible. The image itself has great focus and clarity
I really like the colors and the flow captured. The curl is really nice and the shadow is cool to see. The soft background is a nice touch.
Is it a little bit grainy?
Love the colors & the soft shadow in the background. Effective use of thirds in the framing of this image.
Nice picture, love the shutter speed you used to create the flow motion. Beautiful color.
A very simple concept but very well executed. The composition is great, the colors are great. The focus seems like it could have been adjusted a bit.
There is a fair amount of grain in this photograph so maybe consider lowering the ISO. The colors are very nice and the twisting of the milk is a really cool effect.
The resolution could be improved, however, the colors are captivating and the framing of the fluid motion is unique.
I like the different colors in this image and how they blend together. I also like the faint shadow in the background.
Great colors. I like the warmer lighting in this photo, although I wish you could have captured more white light.
Very vibrant shades of colors. The focus is a bit off but I think that ads to the blurry effect the colors give off.
This is really cool. The colors are really cool, I’m wondering if there is a way to make it less blurry.
Creative image and the colors are quite nice. I think the focus could be improved
Nice framing capturing both the flow and the shadow of the flow. I like the muted color scheme, but the picture quality could be better.
