The surface tension of tonic water is exhibited as bubbles rise from the submerged mentos to the surface of the water.

Nice photo, I like the contrast that the black background provides.
The photo very well frames the fluid phenomena at play.
I think a combination of faster shutter speed and adjusting the focus would sharpen the image and make the bubbles clearer, especially in the center.
Beautiful bubble formation! What was your f stop?
Nice job capturing the bubble formation, maybe try focusing on the bubble more next time
I like the movement of the bubbles in the pictures. It reminds me of a mushroom cloud explosion
Neat photo to visualize the bubbles coming off the mentos tablet. What do you think about the focus of the image?
Great picture. I like that the focus of the image is the flow of the bubbles to the top and the surface tension. The background also adds to this image
Its interesting to see the bubbles stretch on the sides.
I really enjoy all the small bubbles, and I think having the photo in black and white was a great idea.
This reminds me of a mushroom cloud that forms from an atomic bomb. Very interesting to look at
Looks good! I agree that a faster shutter speed would maybe help reduce the motion blur. I think the diffused light on the side provides a cool effect.
I love not seeing the sides of the glass. It looks like this is reacting over the full image rather than what is contained in the glass.
How long after dropping the mint into the water did the bubbles form?
The black background and lighting in this photo is really nice
I think shooting with a higher shutter speed would’ve helped capture the movement of the bubbles more crisply and clearly.
