 This is a drop of green food colour into a glass of water. It was inverted in-camera. This one was my favorite from the 200 pictures I took.

Post-Processing:
Neatimage; a lot of cloning around; selective brightening and darkening to enhance swirls on the water surface; channel specific contrast enhancement; crop; resample; unsharpen.

Beautiful! Well done. Top of mushroom looks a bit overexposed, this should be in the top 3.

There is something that bothers me about this, I cant put my finger on it, maybe it the crop. But none the less very unique. Solid 8!

A wonderful image. The head of it looks like an alien. I wish it did not go all to white but have kept the purple texture. Very original.

Great picture! From the thumbnail, I thought it was a jellyfish. Nice sharp focus and good contrast. Not sure if the pink/purple hue was from lighting or photoshop but either way, good job.
