These are soap bubbles but it was a special dollarama quality so they don't pop!!! oooo hehehe
well, ive discovered that I will NEVER take a bubble picture again since it reflects/refracts 360 degrees of the room! Unless the bubble is in a black room where theres only a hole for the LENS!
curve layers for contrast
Hue-Saturation colorize
Unsharpen Mask
Crop so its straight

But then you wouldn't see the bubble! or the nail for that matter...
Uhmm.... wow! This is an impressive macro shot. I love the tension on the bubble surface. You are quite right about the reflective qualities of bubbles, not only do they show EVERYTHING around them, they are also hard to light. You handled both challenges well with this one. Congrats on a great finish.
I would have figured this to have placed higher. I've been meaning to get those types of bubbles to work with. Btw, if you use some flexible posterboard you can use it to block off the reflections. Either that or buy/create a light tent.
great capture! I think this is one of the best of the challenge. great clarity, composition and color choice. The detail on the nail is intriguing-looks like ice.
