This is a really good shot. The way you have the angle, where the spikes point down but also at you is really cool.
Kind of looks like a hedgehog, but at first I thought it looked like a ball with snow on top
Cool decision to invert the image, I also love the white background.
This looks like a pile of stalagmites in a snowy desert, beautifully captured!
I like how it looks correct, even though its upsidedown.
This angle is so cool. It was so confusing at first which was a great aspect of this image. I had to try and comprehend what it was. At first it looked like snow or milk on top of a Sea urchin, or other spiky ball. Once seeing the angle, it is still a fantastic image, but the mind games were fun to comprehend.
I like the idea of taking the photo from a slightly higher angle.
I really enjoy this image. You did a great job isolating the ferrofluid spikes. With the big contrast of background to spike there is nothing else in this photo but the ferrofluid. It creates an abstract effect to this natural phenomenon. Great job.
This is worth framing! Great choice of aperture to get a pleasing depth of field. Can’t believe it’s not black and white.
I really love the white background how there is no glare from the lighting and how sterile the environment looks.
Awesome shot Bryce, great job keeping all of the spikes in focus and really unique angle by flipping the original shot. It reminds me of a firework explosion
Flipping this image is a really cool perspective. It reminds me of stalagmites in a cave. The contrast with the background is also a good choice
