 green & red food coloring dropped into a fishbowl of cool water - light table as a backlight.

USM only. Shot RAW, but used the JPG. No crop. Some will not like the fishbowl revealed at the edges, however upon comparison to others without this added something I liked.

Nice shot, but I'd crop out the edges of whatever was holding the liquid. Also some broad dodging on the edges to bring out the clash of whatever bloods there were (human/aliens or was it more complicated?). But I guess dodging would be against the rules...

Great idea, but I think less would have been more; it's just too busy for my taste.

I think I would like it better without the borders, nice effect though.

A little to "Arty" for me but in the challenge sense i really like the way you have tried to blend several different contrasting colours.

I kind of wish you had either cropped out the circular outline, or framed it more symmetrically. But it's still pretty...

very interesting/original, the only problem i have with it is the red looks almost like a dark orange

True colours lost in an otherwise strong interplay. Isn't there enough legal leeway to edit the colours up a bit?

Pretty cool, it may have been just that much better if the lines from the circle were cropped out. Nice picture

4 - Like the effect, colors are good, but border slightly 'in between' the base 'schemes' mentioned for the Challenge. Perhaps a variation in crop/composition, tighter on the left, but not sure as does work well as is in my opinion also.

Wonderful concept, but this appears as a green/orange combination (not r/g or o/b)
