In this image, water with a layer of canola oil and food dye is being slowly poured into a new glass with light being exposed under the bottom glass. Beforehand, the oil and water was shaken up to create bubbles such as these. Since oil is less dense than water, the oil layer lands on top, and generally leaves the original glass first when poured.

The variance in the size of the bubbles easily catches my attention! The warm color palette is quite nice too.
I love the colors in this photo, it reminds me of a lava lamp and I think that similar to a lava lamp the lighting from under the fluid was a great choice to illustrate the effects happening.
Really awesome color and composition. I think it would be cool to adjust your crop a little bit, so that the stream of larger bubbles create a centerline in the shot. That way you would be highlighting a real point of tension, where the bubbles start on the right.
I like the pouring motion that is shown. The bubbles from the top show a really unique view of the flow. The color choice is really nice as its so warm, making it looking like thermal flow.
I really like how this almost looks like a sunset with blue tones on the left. The texture and flow movement is very cool
I love the warmth of the color palette, the fluid looks like molten glass or lava.
You did a great job choosing the colors for the food dye. The orange is bright and inviting and the bottom lighting works well.
The color grade is really warm. It looks a lot like lava and the range of bubble sizes creates a very dynamic photo
