It is so fascinating how you can see the different speed of fluids over the airfoil! It is a great visual demonstration of how lift works! very interesting!
I love how smooth this shot is, you can clearly see the dye move around the air foil and the boundaries in between.
This is a really cool shot, especially since I’ve run this experiment only with air instead of water. I’m curious to learn more about the physics of this photo.
I like the sharp spouts of ink on the tip of the airfoil.
The crop of this image is great. I like that it encapsulates the entire flow of the dye. I think this is an interesting and beautiful image.
I like how you’ve cropped the image to only include all relevant subject matter yet still remain in a longer aspect ratio. I also think that the editing you’ve done has elucidated the boundary layer of dye separating around the foil.
This is really neat! I like the aspect ratio you chose, and I think the black and white works really well–the shadows and highlights are really awesome.
I really like how the dye on the front end of the air foil seems to split and spread before it actually arrievs at the tip.
I really like this image not only because of the air foil but also the sharpness and almost vortexes of the flow leading up to the airfoil. Then after the dye hits the airfoil its smooth and affected by forces.
