This photo is of the faucet on a slow drip The surface tension keeps the column of water until it is too massive and forms the droplets. We can see a motion blur of these droplets falling.

I love the color choices that were captured in this image! I think the faucet looks super cool paired with the green and yellow reflections in the water
If I’m correct in my assessment, I think it’s interesting how the drip gets more slender as it falls, showing that it’s accelerating. It’s unsteady looking wiggle also looks very intriguing!
Very cool image. I’d love to see a version that is a little closer so that it’s a bit sharper. I really like the flow though; the column is great.
For better image quality, I would suggest increasing your shutter speed and adding a little more lighting. Other than that, I would say this is still a really cool image!
This is an interesting photo. I really like the nice solid black background.
Very nice flow scenario which takes good timing. If you could fill more of the original frame with the subject I think that would improve the quality of the image.
Really like how you were able to get such a large part of the stream continuous and in focus.
I appreciate the contrast between the brightness of the gutter being the source of the drip against the black background. This forces your eye to follow the brightness in the drip.
Awesome way to capture a water droplet!
I love the framing of the photo! I think the tall, thin shape frames the subject well, and adds a lot of interest to the photo
I like the colors of the photo because it makes it look like the water appears out of nowhere. I also like the separations of the drops.
I think it’s really cool how you captured the long drip.
I like your choice to make the photo in black and white. It puts more emphasis on the flow rather than the surroundings.
I think its fun you can see the source of the drip! I like it.
