This photo was taken by melting some m&m’s candies in water and inverting the colors of the resulting flow.

I enjoy the lack of symmetry with how the candies are placed around the edge of the bowl. The fact that they aren’t all in a clean line is nice.
Inverting the colors in this image was a great idea. It really makes the whole scene feel more vibrant and alive. Great colors in the end result.
What a neat idea! It’s interesting that although the boundaries between colors blur together somewhat, you can still see a distinct trail behind most of the M&Ms.
Cool photo, I like that you inverted the colors. It makes me want to try these “new” flavors of M & M’s
I like how you inverted the colors its interesting that they almost seem to swirl
Love the idea. Great job showing how all colors blend together!
Play with the replace color feature in Photoshop, it’s very useful for replacing unwanted aspects of the image
Reminds me of a portal. Really like how you inverted the colors!
This kind of reminds me of a whirlpool because you can see everything gravitating in towards the center. I also like the isolation with the background.
It is really interesting how the m&M melted in the water. Also I like your edit, looks like a gate of some sort.
great choice to invert the colors, nicely done.
Great image! I love the choice in using a negative of the image.
I love the colors of this! I think it would be cool to have a pattern in the colors to create more of a design. But I think it was really smart to invert the colors!
How long did it take for the colors to run like this?
Really love the spiral effect of the color in the water and how all of it was just created by melting M&M’s in water.
I think the inverted colors make the image unique. You can really see the flow of the melted M&Ms
I love the colors and how they all blend together. I think you made the right call by making the colors more vibrant by inverting the colors.
Very interesting use of a simple candy to visualize the flow of the hard shell dissolving into the water. Great choice to invert the image, the colors really stand out!
The inverted colors give the image a very unique look and feel, I like it.
I really like how inverting the colors affect the overall feel.
The color effect is really cool! I thought at first that the result was because you used a blacklight so its cool to see that it’s a result of color inversion.
Very cool image, I like how you adjusted the colors. Makes it very vibrant and striking
The colors are very interesting and all look great as they blend together.
The idea of inverting the colors is great! I like the different shades that resulted in the final image.
Really love the way the m&m’s leaked into the water. And I really loved how you chose to invert the colors, I think it demonstrates the phenomenon very artistically and beautifully.
