That’s a gorgeous milk-void. I make milk-voids in my coffee daily, but this is the best I’ve seen. Latte art can be abstract too. All hail milk-void.

I, too, was like you. Until one day, I learned the secret …

No, seriously. Lance Hedrick is great about how to make good foam and all the secrets to pouring.

Just looking at it though I must ask, what kind of milk? It does seem a bit foamy, and I get that with certain commercial milks, and less so with raw milk.

Also, it was a huge help (my friend talk me this, not Lance) to bleed the wand before using it, really let a bunch of steam out. There’s a kind of balance when you get it right, that if you texture without bleeding, it’s too foamy, and with too much, you have to add air while you’re stretching the milk.

And that’s exactly how much you can know by looking at a picture. The most important thing I’ve found over the years is milk and coffee taste good.
