 Oil and alcohol, in a glass bottle, a tiny bit shaken, and placed in front of a tabasco for the colorful background. I tried shot after shot after shot and wasn't happy with any of them, so I cropped a small portion of one of the images to get this. Played a bit with levels and this is what I got.

I do like the pattern of bubbles. The blurred background being so much brighter is very distracting -- I think it would have been better with more light on the foreground.

really nice composition, a little more contrasting colors may have added.

Don't seem to mix well? I like the colors in this shot. Good work here and decent lighting, tho a bit dark.

A very interesting shot. It looks as though the exposure is a little low, did you try it longer? If it were cleaner it would be super. 6

Nice colours here. Composition needs something a little extra here to lift it above an 8 for me.

Sweet! Colors are amazing and the sharpness is there - I just wish the foreground blues were more prominent and defining.

Nice image. 10 if it were a touch sharper and brighter. I like the interplay of colours and shapes. Nice composition.
