 Hair gel dripped onto a blue bedsheet and shot. The internal red reflection is particularly interesting; there's a single red lamp in there that I threw in for color balance, and only saw the gleams in the gel after I was looking at the shots.

Even with your description, I'm confused. Is the blob an entire bed sheet? Or is this blob actually pretty small and made up of only the gel? If so, what in the heck is that string? This looks like some kind of freaky tampon.
I think I would have focused mainly on the blob. The background isn't appealing and does not add to the 'liquid' in any way. It's hard to tell even what this is, if it is liquid, and what is going on.
The focus seems a bit soft. Either that, or the texture is one that really looks off. I would have gotten right up close and focussed mainly on the reflections
The little red lights really aren't very noticable at this distance. You can't really tell what they are. Looks like dirt in the gel or something.
The color of the blob is nice, I like that there are bright blue spots and dark blue spots.
Overall not really much to look at that interests me. I do think it would have been much more effective if it were closer up.

Not sure what this is, but it only maybe looks vaguely liquidy, but not convincingly. The focus is pretty soft, the lighting is pretty dar, and the background isn't too appealing. 2

What's the liquid?

The colors are very pretty, but everything is so out of focus, that you really can't appreciate the colors.

hard to understand what's in the picture and what does it have to do with liquid
