Chromite Smoothie anyone? Creative composition & lighting for this style of shot, although I wish the angles were larger to make the tilting effect feel a little more deliberate rather than just off balance.

Sort of an abstract, scientific experience. Kinda cool ;)

Unsure how the title works with a B&W image as the FeCr2O4 is normaly browish black.

Interesting shot, unique. Looks like Cola :) Nice splash effect. Unusual B and W PP. Higher marks also for effort in research and OOB title.

Useless info of the day:
Chromite is a mineral, not a liquid as you no doubt know. Once it is smelted/leeched, it is in 'liquid' form but then its glowing gold in colour and is primarily used in the making of (stainless) steel. The biggest single producer is South Africa @ 44% of global output (6.5 Million Metric Tons per year). The closest mines are less than 2 hours drive from me in the enormous Bushveld Igneous Complex.

A nice capture, although it seems a little soft and i'm unsure on the angled test tube.
