I didn't see this during the challenge - I'm glad you posted it in the bubble thread. A very enjoyable image. I like the color and the complexity of the background - everything feels very threatening to that perfect little bubble. Well thought-out and executed!
Great focus on the bubble. I would have liked to see a few more nails in the foreground in focus. Your background makes for a very interesting image also.
interesting image. i know this wasn't easy to shoot, and you have achieved a bokeh effect. i like how the darkness of the image feeds into the ultimate fatility. good luck.
I wish something else was done with the nails, maybe more uniform or not there at all. The bubble is increadable and the background really works with this photo. I still scored it high.
The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Definietly present. Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Absolutely. Wow shot. WOW.
Much more a sense of shallow DOF than bokeh. background seems arbitrary, and incidental to the subject, where I'm looking for a sense of integration of BG and subject in bokeh. Love the bubble!
