Another awesome nebulaic shot. That's what it looks like to me. Something pertaining to nebulaism. The abstractiness is great . . . I actually don't see a definitive image in this, but rather some great flowing lines and interesting textures.
Out of the three "colour edits" you posted, I think the original is by far the best. The deep, rich black and blues really invite the eye into the photo . . . I find too much white or bright/light colours actual repel the eye a bit. But that's probably just my eyes. Plus, I'm a great fan of the black/electric blue contrast.
As for your other dye projects, I also like "Another Phoenix", mostly because of the juxtaposition of the tightly curled, horizontal line and the sheetlike spread of the second dye cluster . . . it gives the image an unexpected depth. I also like the amber hue.
Although I appreciate your attempts to experiment with these dye projects, my reaction to "Confrontation" is kind of a mixed bag. On the one hand, I love the effect of the backlighting and how the foreground has this dark sheen . . . it really makes me feel as if I'm in an aquarium! On the other hand, the inclusion of the glass provides some context, which sort of cuts down on the magic of the abstraction . . . one is less likely to think, "What IS this?!" and also less likely to concentrate solely on the shapes of the dye (although that was probably your intention). I really like the geyser-shaped dye column in the middle and wonder what it would look like with a close crop on just that shape alone.
Always a pleasure to view your dye & light experiments!

Thanks Linda - "Internal organs" was my working title for this one :-) And I agree that it is especially apparent for the ones with a light background...

Wow this is really nice Stefan, the lighting and colors are beautiful, the clarity excellent, and the repeating shapes and form make a wonderful abstract. Talk about imaginations, the right side almost reminds me of the intestines..(sorry, nurse here) a great experiment, creative and beautiful..I also like the posts in the comments...interesting how just changing the color adds a whole new look, the warm toned one definitely looks like the intestines, hahaha. great job Stefan...Linda
