Bubbles are damned hard to capture, and this is a great job... I love the quality of the blurred background. The out-of-focus patch of yellow on the left near the bottom of the frame takes away from the composition but the shot in general sets a great mood.
Nice details on the bubbles, but the bokeh seems uneven. Perhaps it's the background colors that's distracting, and I feel as if this would rate higher without the tree and the white "blob."
This is a very dreamy image. Takes me back to my childhood, and makes me feel young again. Very interesting image. I love the detail and the color in the bubbles, and the little boy who is so out-of-focus in the background, which gives this image the feel of a childhood playground. Very nicely done. <7>
Although I don’t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don’t leave a comment.
Don’t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.
In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don’t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that’s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.
I love bubbles! Nice capture of them. The flaring on the foremost bubbles are a distraction it would feel better if all were in focus. As for conveying an emotion? Feeling bubbly is subjective(usually requires a touch of the bubbly). A child running in the background feels more care free. 7
