Oil on Water Photos by Garry Rose

Garry Rose recently completed an experiment where he added different oils to the surface of water, which was in a clear glass bowl set above M&Ms. Underneath the M&Ms was a layer of foil, helping to reflect the colors. It's fascinating to see the reaction of the oil and water reacting and the small details of bubbles in the water.
