Awesome shot! Good job, but I sorta agree with ypu it too bad the splash isn't symmetrical. Still a cool shot. Condrats!

Very nice shot!

I suspect the thickness of the oil is why the mass of 'coffee' round the middle of the picture looks very glutinous, almost like lava flow. I would love to see the coffee shots to compare.

Brilliant idea to use oil. As an aside, have you ever mixed cornflour with cold water, and poured it. The mixture is amazing - drops slowly, acts very strangely, and if thick enough just pulls off any flat surface without leaving any mess - try it and see. Amaze friends at parties and all that sort of rubbish - but pouring a spoon of it, makes very odd photos.

So glad to see something other then a black and white take first on this when I went back and looked at the past High Contrast challenges it seems that people only wanted black and white.. as if that is the only way to show high contrast!! I didn't get a chance to enter this one was on vacation. But many congrats I love the shot and can only hope to become this good!!
