Hi Flavio, I will probably try something like this in the winter....I like that light highlighting your water drop.....three balls of milk...very cool capture

Those are amazing shots. Nice set up too.

The first two pictures are beautifully conceived and created, with perfect lighting and symmetry. I prefer the first but only by smallest of margins, its a real - there thats the one - moment, good job.

We also get the bonus picture showing how the sorcerer creates his magic. This is wonderful and reminds me of how some fourty plus years ago my chemistry teacher used to make us draw pictures of all of our experiments.

This is an excellent post, well done Flavio

I highly recommend it. If you have kids get them involved. I'd suggest you use different liquids: Water, milk, 1/2 and 1/2, etc. There are many factors to play with until you get something you like. It is quite fun!
I'll be expecting your drops.
