In this image, we observe the physics of surface tension and free surfaces interacting as air is exhaled through a straw and emerges beneath water.

I thought this was an interesting way to demonstrate surface tension., nice job!
I love the blue color in this photo. I think you did a really nice job capturing this.
It is really interesting to see the bubbles begin to form at an angle to the straw and then forming an interface with the surface.
I love your monochromatic layout, and your crisp focus! I think the blue is very attractive, and calming, and the really draws the eye to your sharp highlights and shadows of the bubbles!
I really like the grainy look the image has along with the type of blue you used.
I enjoy the monochromatic color scheme. It gives the picture a very aqueous, wet feeling.
The background matching in color above and below the water line is very nice. It really draws my eye to the action on the surface.
I really like the framing and color. It makes your eye really focus on the flow.
Really enjoy the use of color in this image. Also, the interaction between the bubbles provides some interesting fluid dynamics.
This is a cool photo showing close up on something most of us used to do as a kid, blowing bubbles in your drink. The tight crop allows us to see a lot of the small details with the bubbles that you can’t see with your naked eye.
I love the blue tone in your image! Also, I think the composition of the photo was great!
I like the idea behind the image and how well it was captured. It is cool to see the transition from laminar air to air bubble.
The noise in this image almost reminds me of film grain – along with the act of blowing bubbles it feels very nostalgic
Great photo! Makes me think of cavitation! awesome way to show fluid mechanics
