Image of metallic acrylic paint mixed with water and dish soap. When the mixture was pipetted back onto itself it formed droplets on the surface before sinking back in.

Really neat photo. I think the choice to use blue was a great choice and probably helped in the post-processing to make it really pop as you did. I am impressed by how crisp your photo looks, especially since this process is happening so fast. Really great job.
This is a really great photograph! I really like the mood coming from this image, there is a dark blue cavern vibe, and the glitter gives it a mystical quality. The beads of water are a great aspect of this image, and it’s impressive that the beads form a triangular composition coming out of the dark edges of the top and right of the frame!
Great lighting to highlight the paint pearls, it’s very interesting how the same material formed droplets on the surface before rejoining the paint basin.
First off, I really like the choice of color with the acrylic paint, it makes it seem like a cloudy, fluorescent ocean. The action that’s going on in the photo is also spectacular, especially the pearls of paint towards the middle. I also really like the tiny droplets/particles that trail the pearls, they’re almost ethereal.
