This is an image of food coloring sifting through honey, maple syrup, and water resulting in a bubbly smoke-like brain.

I really like this photo. I like the framing, it is shot from up close so you can see the flow details.
I love this image! Although the aesthetic is kind of strange I think it worked for this image
Gorgeous! It looks like a brain MRI scan. Fascinating!
Very beautiful shades of green. I also really like the grainy effect of the flow. Great focus and lighting!
Really cool image, I like the different shades of green. I think the lighting could be better, and change hte color contrast in photoshop. Overall nice image.
I am surprised at what kinds of textures you were able to create. It took me a while to see the ‘Brain’ but now I do. I think there could be more dynamic range, more contrast, and less graininess. Possibly try HDR or decreasing ISO?
This has a ominous feel to it. The way that the different fluids create different textures makes a almost 3D look to the art.
Nice surface-tension-driven flow. It is a good observation that viscosity is related to rate of mixing, it could be fun the quantify that,
Wow, i really like the colors here, and the pattern itself is really interesting. Looks kind of like a brain. The saturation could be a bit higher.
It is beautiful image. Great choice of color of food dye with color of honey.
I like the stormy tornado cloud vibe I get from this. It’s unsettling in a good way. A higher color range and higher contrast might help, but it’s difficult to say how much you could do without ruining the dark aesthetic.
Great image, the focus and exposure are good. I would consider increasing the contrast so the colors are more distinguishable from each other, and lowering the ISO gain to decrease the noise. A calm but somewhat foreboding image.
The image is nice, I like the darker tones and how the maple syrup and honey interacted with the food coloring. The ISO is a little high, but otherwise I really like it.
Really creative flow. It’s interesting to see that the yellows seem to overlap the lighter greens.
i like the framing and composition of this image. I like how it fills the entire screen and has a dark tone. The image is nicely focused and is nicely done.
Very beautiful image! Moody and intricate!
The flow pattern is really wrinkly. The focus is good, and the colors and contrast are well done. It seems like the image is well cropped too. Overall good image
This image is nice and the colors go well together, however it seems to be a but out of focus. This could just be the color spreading out through the liquids. Overall I really like the photo and the patterns the colors make is really cool!
Beautiful image, the flow is very clear and interesting, the image maybe effected by the high iso.
Nice colors, I love the softness in the image. There are some dark spots where information is lost, maybe consider lightening the image in Photoshop? There is a lot of grain so maybe also consider lowering the ISO on the camera
I like the idea of the photo overall. The flow pattern looks really interesting. It is slightly grainy though, but it doesn’t distract too much from the photo.
This image is very nice. I can almost see a flower forming in the center of the image. The image is a little grainy, but otherwise this is a great picture. Nice work!
The darkness of the image creates an ominous feel. However, I would have increased the saturation and exposure of the image to really make the colors pop. Overall, cool image exhibiting viscous fluid motion.
Love the colors. The texture in this image is super interesting – love that there is a sort of center point. The bottom-right corner is a bit dark – maybe try to brighten the image a little bit or mess with the contrast.
I like how you pointed out the brain shape. It looks a bit grainy though, I am not sure if you could fix that with some editing
Very cool picture. I think the focus could be a little better, but overall I like the way that the green and black mix together in the top half.
This is really weird and interesting. The color choice makes this look like it’s naturally occurring. I love the aesthetic too.
A muddy but fascinating image. I quite like how grainy the image looks and the colors are put together quite well;. Great photo!
The colors are really interesting. I like how it looks like a brain. The darkness is really cool to look at. Focus is good.
Maybe a little bit grainy?
The aesthetic in this image is chilling and unsettling. I think either the focus of the image or the saturation could be adjusted to increase that affect.
