Thanks everyone. I am pretty much in shock. It's just some colored party straws. Their is light underneath of them and behind them as well. I later used a 3-4 colored back light but did not submit any of them.

The brightness of the colored straws and the darkness of the bubbles make an intriguing combination and a great photo.

The lack of bright colors at the top detract from the overall composition. Perhaps if you had drawn out those colors more to make the entire shot well-saturated?

I enjoy the contrast between the colors and the black - it makes it surreal.
