The color of the water drops is amazing. Was that added with food dye?
I love this image so much! the droplets are so crisp, they look like green beads instead of water.
Very cool picture, I like how the water droplets look like emerald beads, this color really stands out. I also like the diagonal line up of the droplets, it is very aesthetically pleasing.
I love the vivid green color of the droplets. The background is a bit distracting, but I like your choice to frame the droplets on a diagonal.
The green color is amazing on the image. I really love how the focus is centered, it showed that the image is natural.
I like how the droplets color contrasts with the pan. The diagonal orientation makes it feel like the image is in space. I would love to see the image with a darker back ground.
Love this picture! For me, it looks like a (distant) star system with natural satellites. The speckles in the background look like asteroids and the streaks/ scratches remind me of comets. Love the color choice, and the reflections captured in the droplets.
The perfect spheres that are created by your liedenfrost effect are extremely satisfying. I also enjoy that the bubbles are lined up diagonally.
I like the contrast between the vibrant green spheres and the black pan. The clear green and alignment of the bubbles is very aesthetically pleasing.
I love this picture. The droplets are evenly spaced and roughly the same size, and I know how difficult that can be to stage.
I see that you used used a highlighter as a dye on a pan, which gives off a different green color. I like how they are aligned.
I appreciate the skillet or background details such as the scratches, it gives the photo more depth.
I like your choice of the coloring of the droplets. It helps gives the picture life. The droplets came out really nice and I am not seeing motion blur. Great job!
Great choice using a green color! The shape of the droplets is well-formed, and they look like jewelry!
The color looks very nice. I liked how they are aligned. I personally think that more editing is needed for the background.
The focus on the droplets are so great. Great job with editing as well
The intricate detail inside of the droplets is incredible. I love how we can see the reflection and refraction of light within the droplets. The color is incredible, too. It looks like jewels.
I like how they seem like they’re just sitting still and look like the solar system.
I really enjoy the green water droplets because it creates a great contrast. I also like how you captured a linear pattern of the droplets.
I think the green droplets look kinda like jewels, it’s cool.
Nice job getting a very clear focus on the drops, the way they are aligned provides a very nice aesthetic.
Great color choice. I love how it looks like a colored pearl.
This reminds me of planets; specifically the second droplet from the right seems like it has moons gravitating around it.
I really like the way this looks it’s super clear and the highlighter was a smart idea. I like how it’s also a straight diagonal line of droplets.
I like how you did your focus and the droplets look like they have little clouds inside of them; both aspects make the picture pretty cool.
I like the color you chose. The beads of water on both edges seem a little blurry . Maybe step back the tiniest bit which may allow the camera to focus on all of the beads as well
The dark emerald green make this a very effective image. As well as how the droplets cross the image diagonally going from out of focus to in focus to out of focus again . Beautiful photo
The method of using a highlighter as a dye definitely resulted in a vibrant color
Adding in the green color makes the image a lot more interesting!
I like how you made the water green
I like how spherical the droplets appear in the pan.
I really like that you added color to the water drops, it helps it stand out more against the grey background. Do you think the coloring affected the physics of the water droplets at all? I especially like the drop that the focus is mostly on, it is amazingly spherical and clear.
Very nice use of colored dye to ensure a high contrast. Incredible focus on the size of the water droplets.
The colors look great, it looks like each droplet is its own planet.
I love how linear the droplets are across the photo. It creates a really nice effect that makes the photo look very clean!!
Very clear picture! I appreciate how the scratches on the pan do not take away from the affect because of the vibrant color of the drops.
The color choice of the fluid is amazing!
