This image captures the effect of repelling magnets (underneath container) and water-based acrylic paint on the normal field instability in a Ferrofluid. The paint forms an interesting ring along the center of each “leaf” and a reservoir in the center. The formation of “cells” of paint is just a result of the hydrophobic nature of the Ferrofluid. The peaks leaning away is a result of the repelling magnets.

I love this image so much. The colors are so bright and beautiful and the formation of the ferrofluid is so aesthetically pleasing. Wonderful job!
I really like the symmetry in this photo, it makes it very aesthetically pleasing.
The symmetry makes this picture satisfying to look at. I think the color combinations here are really unique and beautiful.
I really like the colors added in post processing, the blue and orange makes the image look really cool.
I like how you were able to change the color of the ferro fluid
I really like the color editing you did to bring out some more interesting colors!
Great job with post-processing! The image is well balanced and really pops with the use of blue and orange. Also, great job capturing the effects of a magnetic field in this experiment.
Love the symmetry, colors, and pores. What made you choose orange paint over another color or multiple colors?
Great work with the post processing on the photograph! You really brought out some nice color.
Cool photo, it looks like an alien four-leaf clover. The image is sort of grainy
Very cool how the ferrofluid formed a four leaf clover design. Good job in processing to get more details
The colors are really cool, and the cell shapes in the center is nice. What was the background?
The four cells look like platypus heads.
I like how symmetric the image came out.
Beautiful colors! I like how the light reflection makes the blue look like the sky.
Great color contrast and cell definition. What editing did you apply to the image? What do you think happened to the blue glow in the bottom right hand corner?
The colors in this image are beautiful. I also really enjoy the symmetry in this image.
I love this image and colors!
5his looks like a cool four leaf clover. I like the color choice
