 Used a desklamp with copier paper taped to the front as a backlight and positioned a flashlight at the top of the gel candle facing down. The subject was a gel candle we recieved today for a late xmas gift. In PS I performed levels, color correction, and unsharp mask. Zero spot editing performed.

I like how you captured this. Those gel environments are kinda cool. Farily convincing.

Interesting, and I'm interested in the setup details. I think that fewer but larger bubbles would be better, don't know if it is possible.

I am unable to find the dominate shape in this image. The biological shapes are overwhelmed by the bubbles, but the perfusion of bubbles is more of a pattern or texture element.

The shells and the starfish are great ... what a good concept, I can't figure why there are sooooo many bubbles ...
