I really like this. What a great idea for a photograph. If I was into abstract photos, it would go on my wall.   Posted: 03/19/2025 14:05:30

The rings of colors have a nice flow, circular and diagonal. The perfect drops. Even with your description I have a hard time seeing the subject as you described. Abstract as Sharon said.   Posted: 03/21/2025 22:19:38

I am happy to see your creative macro photography. The color harmony of the oil drops is beautiful and cool.   Posted: 03/25/2025 06:31:39

There is, to me, something very peaceful about this. The monochromatic feel, the soft curves and a floating on air sense. I have no idea if you intended anything like that but good for you for trying something new.   Posted: 03/29/2025 13:38:00

I love this. So creative. The tones blend together well and it gives a sense of peace. Kind of like the old lava lamps of some our youth. The little bubbles around some of the bigger spheres really add to the feel.   Posted: 03/30/2025 23:19:31
