Thanks for all the encouraging comments and good advice, it does a first timer a lot of good.....thank you people.
The graininess, lens flash and sunflare where all positive choices...I liked the way the colours of the bubble where mirrored by the colour of the graininess in the sky...I liked the strong diagonal that, together with highlight on the top right of bubble, the flash and flare created...I felt it led the eye in and out of the picture and added a sense of movement to the bubble...the lack of sharp focus on the bubble was because I don't no what the hell I'm doing..........ooooh a bit of self-justification does you good!
A photo after me own heart! its so magical and wonderful and light-filled. the eye is constantly trying to solve the questions posed here; i.e. "what is that bubble?" and "where is the bubble?", and so forth. A photo which challenges the mind and eye.
...okay. The exterior IS liquid on a bubble like this, I suppose, looked at a certain way. I'll call it 'on topic, for the most part', even though it's probably a better example of a gaseous subject. Or the principles of physics and surface tension. Or something. Anyhow.
It's a neat idea, and the bubblemass itself is very cool looking with the iridescence, but it's a pity you couldn't do the shot so the bubble was against the sky -- or did it stand out better against the cloud? Something about the clouds and sky look off... a bit of grain is visible, and maybe the light level seems wrong for the angle of the light and the glare. Not sure.
I suppose bubbles ARE indeed liquid, and I like it floating in the sky like that. Fun idea. If it were in sharper focus, it would really pop and contrast well with the clouds behind it.
nice composition. great that you captured the bubbles against the band of white clouds. You can see all the cool colors. Wish there wasn't glare on the upper right. 6
Nice image. I like it. I was going to give you a 9, but now that I look at it again, I think that you will get a 10 because it is FUN to look at. 10 Morgan
The idea is fantastic, but the picture quality has really suffered somewhere along the way. It's very grainy near the top-right, and it's a pity you caught that sun-glare there too. It still works out a 6 on the quality of the idea. Keep it up!
