This is a cool image because it is interesting to look at, and oil is cool in itself because it creates a “thin-film interference” which creates a rainbow effect.

First Prize, the iridescent colors in this photo are amazing and caught might attention right away. Very cool.
Third Prize – I love how this shows the lack of intersection between the different colors and how they flow through one another
SECOND – I really enjoy the thing film interference create rainbow colors and the way the you can see the film falling down the surface.
Second prize – This picture is a great example of a flow visualization image. Besides, it is interesting how this image captures the two stages at which the fluid colors began to mix together and ending up forming four layers at the end.
second prize!
I love the florescent colors and organic flow of this photograph. This is a great example of flow that we could replicate with minimal resources.
