I really like the decision to crop in nice and close to the spikes themselves instead of focusing on the whole puddle. It really draws attention to the lighting you used, and lets the viewer appreciate the reflections happening on the spikes.
The tight framing on this image definitely enhances it. I also like the reds your other teammates have in their images, but seeing a macro image of the spikes up close, with their glossiness and uniformity dominating the image is fantastic.
The clarity of this photo is incredible, and I like how you went with a black and white edit. By eliminating the colors you really highlighted the individual ferrofluid “spikes”.
I really like your unique prospective of your layout. The composition and the detail of the spikes are well-done, and it’s super crisp.
The sharpness of the image is really impressive, and I really like the jagged-looking reflections on the peaks of the spikes in the top left.
I love the darkness of the fluid with the bright white reflections. This looks so perfect that it could be a computer-generated image, as there is such clean uniformity. The focused spike to blurry background is really a cool transition from subject to background.
I really like how “macro” this image is. For being as close up as it is, you don’t lose any detail or any sharpness. The monochromatic photo is also a solid choice
