Tried various bubble setups, and this one pleased me the most. So, there you have it! Shot straight down into a blue vase filled with water and bubbles on top. Lighting was outside, sun low in the west (upper left), the vase was on top of a table, with grass below - used this setup to assure the green would be well out of the DOF.
Adjusted levels, cropped, sharpened, resized, resharpened, noise reduction, removed some dust bunnies and finished with a simple frame. 6.3150
