Shot in the kitchen with daylight coming from the window to the left. Only cropped and b/w-ed in Photoshop. In b/w partly because of chromatic abberation in the reflection in the bubble - and it also just looked better. Dramatic unsharpening also looked good in this photo although not submitted. 39 shots to complete.

this is a totally cool shot. b&w works well here and the soap bubble distortion is just great. just remember not to grow up! :) my top three this week -- gr8photos (10)
I love the lighting on this with obne side of the face in shadow. If I had to find fault then I'd say the shadow is just a litlle bit too dark on the rhs and t he framing is slightly too tight on the bubble. But I'm being picky - it's a great shot.
You got the face very good, but the edges of the bubble moved. Maybe a faster exposure would have stopped that motion and better defined the edges of the bubble. Challenge well met. Photo 8 Transparency 8 total 8 swash
I note a lot of bubbles in this challenge. That said, I think you did an excellent job on this one. Great composition, exposure, and lighting. This is really good!
Great shot. I have some outtakes of the same idea!
Trouble you may get is that you have no distortion or colors created from the transparency. I'm not marking the shot down for that but my wife (the subject for my version that I did not submit) made mention of that reviewing these photos.
