Funny thing...I LIKE the gray clouds. They remind me of when the rain stops....and as a child, that meant we could go outside and play again...to blow bubbles. (And, I personally had thought of cloud-watching as a childhood memory, so this is really nice)
This was my very favorite..so uplifting and well done. The irredescent bubbles contrasting against the sky and clouds made this an easy choice for me. Congrats!
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing that 'Carefree' won this challenge. I really had no expectations that this shot would win...especially after all the controversy surrounding the challenge interpretations. Nevertheless I am delighted. Thanks to everyone for all the marvelous comments!
The clouds are a VERY GROSS grey. How would you fix this, well shoot on another day, or perhaps, crop the gross grey out. Im sure this can't be an "uncropped" shoot...
very nicely done shot :) I admit that it wasn't one of my overall favorites for the week, but this *is* a technically difficult shot to execute... good work :)
This is stunning despite the slightly low resolution/jagginess! I love the colours you caught in those bubbles, and the sky is very impressive. The deep blue in the top part of the photo is gorgeous. Well done.
Very good. I know how difficult it is to phorograph bubbles in the sky. It's good that you chose a more narrow DOF. That way I can see some depth and that some bubble are nearer than others. Good work! -stephan
Excellent shot, the clouds look a little dark on the bottom - impending weather or dof? Doesn't affect my rating, but I would like to see the shot on a better weather day
Good idea, and the clouds give the second layer that makes one think about the 'carefreeness' of childhood. Technically well done, interesting composition.
Love the bubbles against the backdrop of the sky. The colors of the bubbles come across so well. Love how you got the bubbles all "composed" so well in the shot! :) lhall
This is something I hope to be able to photograph in the future. You have captured "carefree" quite well in the bubbles but, some of the clouds being so dark gives the picture sort of a sinister cast. =6 Syamjonmimi ;'-D
Very great photo. I love how the background is the sky. he little rainbows in the bubbles ad nice subtle color. Angle and placement are great. Lighting was perfect for this photo. You will probably get different views of the dark clouds at the bottom, but I like them. Great photo and good luck in the challenge.
I adore this, I love the colours and intensity of the sky and the way the clouds below break open into blue blue sky at the top. It gives a real sense of rising. I really love the bubbles - with their rainbow "petrol" colours and reflected sunlight. This is a definite 10 for me. Kavey
Love this image. Very original and very much conveying childhood. The bubbles are gorgeous and the cloudscape is the perfect foil for them. In a refined subtle way this conveys the exuberance of childhood. Well done. Prelim: 8. Will revisit. Journey My only drawback is that all the bubbles have a jagged outline. Don't know whether that is to be expected since I have never shot bubbles but it detracts somewhat from the beauty of the bubbles. Final: 8 Journey
