Air is being blown from a duster into oobleck created from tonic water and cornstarch. The oobleck is illuminated with a blacklight.

I really like this picture but I think that it could be lit a little more. The dark blue coupled with the dark lighting makes it a little difficult to see.
I like the ominous feel of the image. However, it is a bit difficult to see all that is happening, better lighting would help with this maybe?
Very interesting depiction of fluid flow. The colors of the picture are a bit monotone but it gives the image a certain mood. Did you do any brightness and contrast editing in Photoshop?
This photo is really mysterious. I like the single color with the subtle changes in lighting showing the flow.
I feel like the image is kind of dark so its hard to fully see the flow
The image and flow are really nice. The colors are great and I love the use of oobleck.
cool photo, nice setup and technique. Maybe increase the lighting and try refocusing this image.
Last night I watched the Nuggets Clippers game, and they interviewed Boban Marjanović of the clippers after the game. This looks like his ears. Such an odd shape. Love it. The colors, focus and exposure are on point.
I really like this image. The color really pops and looks almost porcelain. Focus is awsome as well. Good work!
This looks like an ear of an alien like a member of the Blue Man Group! The air impinging on the cornstarch / water mixture is very intriguing – I want to play with it!
I like the method of your lightening. It is well focused.
Very interesting photo the blue is very strong and dark. If you could have focused the photo more I think it would have came out better.
The fluorescent blue is very cool, especially mixed with the shadows of the ring created by the air force.
Interesting idea using oobleck. I also love the color under blacklight.
Great image, I appreciate the unusual coloring and it really adds to the image. The focus, exposure, and time resolution are good, making the fluid appear frozen in place. A little more contrast might make the different shades of blue more distinguishable.
Very interesting idea. It’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on. I like the blue color though
I wonder if increasing the exposure would help to brighten up the shadows and show more of the flow. Nice composition.
Interesting image. I really like the blue and black. The focus and field of view are good. Well done
The shape of the oobleck is very interesting. Is seems that the cavity is being created and the oobleck is folding over it.
Interesting shape that the oobleck formed into. I like how the photo reflects the shadow as there is minimal light, yet the blue appears to be so bold and neon.
There’s a really nice shape to the flow, very organic and smooth. Unfortunately it’s very difficult to see the boundaries and motion, since it’s very monotone, and there’s very little contrast. Maybe some color editing could help bring out the impact here.
Interesting image to look at, the color is beautiful under the black light. Maybe try to make the image more bright in the post processing, it is a little dark to see the flow.
The image is a little dark, but I think the idea behind it is pretty interesting.
The florescence of the picture is quite unique. However, the photo seems really dark, making it hard to identify the small details of what is actually going on.
Nice color in the photo. The image is very out of focus. Did you focus you camera before you blew into the oobleck? I think just some minor adjustments would help with the focus. Interesting idea using a blacklight to illuminate the flow.
Interesting flow, but the low color range makes it difficult to make out what exactly is happening. The image seems like it might be slightly out of focus.
Cool concept. A few photography notes, the iso seems high and the color depth seems low. Also, you might mess with the contrast to make the darks and lights come out better.
The image is kind of dark, I would have played with the colors and lighting more. Very interesting flow though.
You might want to play with the brightness—it looks like the image is dominated by darkness. Also consider making it black and white. The shape of the cavity is very cool—I wonder why it took that shape.
Very cool image eith a good visualization of flow but it lacks of contrast brtween the background
Very smooth captured effect. I like the silky nature of the blue flow.
If the image was a bit brighter, I think the droplet would be more in focus. However, I really like the fluorescent blues in the oobleck.
This is an interesting image. I think it could be a little bit brighter, but overall I think the crater looks good.
I think the flow is good, but the color balance is a little lacking. I would turn the brightness up a bit and try to lighten some of the shadows.
This is a very mysterious image. It’s a bit difficult to see the highlights, but that adds to the effect.
Interesting concept and flow, but it seems a bit monotone. it would be interesting if there was a different color added to the fluid.
