Interesting flow and great framing, a very dynamic feeling
Excellent image, the focus is great, and I love the framing of the small bubbles in the center and subtle coloring that you added to them.
Your choice of desaturating the image successfully provides focus to the colored bubbles at the center of the image. Your usage of depth of field is successful in capturing just the surface of the fluid, which is just enough to show off the physics of the image.
The slight addition of color is a great artistic statement, the phenomenon is interesting. The large bubbles are a little distracting, but adds some scale to the image.
Really good focus and framing. I like the single stream of bubbles, and the colored bubbles help focus the image.
I like how individual bubbles are colored, it really draws your eye to the bubbles themselves. The coloring is slight but it works well.
I love sparkling water. I’ve seen those bubble streams before and its always fascinated me. I like what you did with the color, it’ subtle and effective. Nice job.
You captured the bubbles really well and the post editing made for a subtle but aesthetically pleasing image.
It might be beneficial to zoom in on the colored bubbles you’re most interested in. Nice depth of field.
Beautiful picture, nice color
Cool photo i like the individual coloring of bubbles. The desaturation also worked out well.
Cool video and awesome editing. Nice focus and composition as well.
Really nice focus on your image. I like top layer of your liquid is well focused and bottom layer of liquid is blurred.
The focus is so clear that the sparkling water looks like glass. The bubbles in the top left almost remind me of an alien face
Really nice image, the flow physics are very cool. The color changes are cool too.
Nice work! I like the choice of coloring the bubbles.
Really intriguing focus. Nice work in post. The bubbles in the three corners provide really nice weight. Simply beautiful.
Cool editing job. Really nice choice to colorize the bubbles and leave out the rest of the color
This photo literally rocked my world. Kind of reminds me of a jelly fish or a squid for some reason. The choice of black and white with the small number of tiny vibrant bubbles is pretty sweet.
I love the aesthetic of this image! It would be really nice to see more color in the other little bubbles as well. Nicely done.
I really like the visual appeal of the colored bubbles that you were able to edit in. Very nice image.
The delicate nature of this photo is appealing. It’s quite beautiful.
Great focus in the image. It took me a minute to notice but I love how just a few of the small bubbles are colored. Also the two bubbles in the upper left-hand corner look like Wall-E’s eyes.
The bubbles are really satisfying and I love the coloring. I really like how you added the colors to individual bubbles in post processing.
Whoa, really cool composition and the contrast between the colorful bubbles and the grayscale background is really cool.
The flow is really cool and then color added to the individual bubbles is really cool.
Great job focusing in and capturing the tiny bubbles. I also really like the color scheme in your image.
The little rainbow in the middle especially makes this photo special
The image is in great focus. I really like close-up shots, it makes it more mysterious and shows the small details inside the flow.
I don’t know about adding color to some of the bubbles. It’s nicely in-focus and I like the black and white.
