 One of many
...attempts that is

Settings used:
Circular Polarizer filter w/ UV Haze filter
High Saturation (in camera)
Macro focus
Manual Mode
Cloudy WB Preset

Taken near sunset. I like the depth of field, but am not wild about the focus. I like the graininess, but was limited to the amount of sharpening I could do without it looking really off. Levels adjusted slightly. Also, is it just me or does it look like there is a face in the center? I assure you, it's not mine...

I like the reflections in the bubbles but I would have preferred if you had cropped more tightly on that.

This was well executed. I like the different colors in the bubbles.

nice idea, though i'd like to see it cropped/composed better. I think that the bubble should fill the frame...the reflections of the trees is a nice touch.

Really nice rainbows and reflections. Maybe a faster exposure would have stopped some of the "extra" bubble motion and more solid looking bubbles. Good job! Photo 9 Transparency 8 total 8

If the whole shot was in bubbles, then 8 or 9. However, the portions here outside like the upper right corner are distracting to the shot.

beautiful colors. I wish the background weren't quite so blurred. Neat reflections. The orange patch of flowers (?) is distracting to me. 8

Not incredably origional but very well done. The depth of field is top notch. The number of buble cells is very impressive. How long did it take to get the bubbles right.
