"Liquid sculptures" by Tapan Sheth
It may have taken six months, hundred of pictures and endless patience, but the efforts of Indian photographer Tapan Sheth have all been worth it after he managed to capture these stunning images of 'water sculptures'.
Sheth, from Rajkot, in Gujarat, added coloured dye to liquid along with guar gum, a food thickener similar to cornflour, then set up his camera equipment.
The 34-year-old got these mesmerising images by letting a drop fall into the rest of the liquid, then quickly pressing the camera shutter.
He said: 'There are lots of things involved in the photography of liquid sculptures. There is proper preparation, setup, controller and much more required to get the effect.
'The most important part is the passion; if you don't have passion you really won't able to achieve this. From 100's of clicks I hardly get five to ten perfect shots. Sometimes a complete session could fail.'
Many form into umbrella-like shapes, while some seem to mimic mushrooms and others look like trees with one resembling a cup.
Tapan added: 'After many failed attempts and efforts I got the result I was looking for for my liquid sculpture photography.
I really can't believe the reaction I get, it's simply awesome when you praised by people around the world. When I see my pictures, I don't have words for what I see. Liquid sculptures are a jewel for me.'

Liu Bolin returns with latest work at the Eli Klein Fine Art
They may look like plain old photographs of road sides and supermarkets, but these meticulous images take hours to construct.
It is the latest series of camouflage trickery unveiled by artist Liu Bolin, or 'the invisible man', who made his name blending into the background of everyday scenes.
The new shots, now exhibited at the Eli Klein Fine Art gallery in New York, shows him melting into shelves packed with soft toys, fruit and vegetables, and a magazine rack.
The 40-year-old, who has spent years perfecting the art, says the images are a statement of his role in society.
Mr Bolin, who is also a sculptor and painter, goes through swathes of clothes as he smears them with paint for each image.
And his friends have even become accustomed to him enlisting their help to conjure up the spell-binding images.
In one of his latest snaps, Mr Bolin blends into a huge billboard showing three females in military style uniforms parade across a square.
In another, he manages to disappear into the grey of a a huge aircraft carrier docked in New York.
A third shows him camouflaged into a rack of magazines - making it hard to see where they end and he begins.
