Set up

Aquarium with yellow tissue paper as background. Halogen light to illuminate paper. Blue food coloring dropped into the water and photographed from underneath. I managed to capture a lot of very interesting patterns. I'm not very happy with the overall sharpness of the image. Damn kit lens... I gotta do something about that!

Beautiful image. I don't mind that it's not totally sharp because it helps it look more... real, for lack of a better word. Maybe the background color could have been a bit different, to complement the green better, but I do like the choice of green as symbolic of growth. A tighter crop may have helped some, to give the figure more emphasis. Really great border in my opinion.

That is just wonderful. How on earth did you do this? Were you aiming to get an "anatomical" image like this, or did it just happen? Very clever title. The border compliments the rest of the photo beautifully.

it certainly does look like a female reproductive system...that's cool! not so sure how i feel about the overexposed white, though.

I don't know what it is, and I have issues to imagine what it reflects...but I like it ;)

Hehe.. creative title. This is an interesting abstraction. I like the colors. I'll spare you my Ink blot reading. I think the use of the thin green boarder inside the black was a good addition.

This doesn't appear to be a reflection, although it is close.
