messing around with the water bubbles again. used a checkered background, held a sheet of glass above it, dropped some water on the glass and shot in macro mode. not much post editing, except used red channel, cropped and increased contrast. unsharp mask and save for web.

I like this as an abstract piece of work. I would like to see the largest checkerd dot, with sharp focus all the way around, for a focal point. My eye wanders too quickly and gets distracted. Not gonna do that great because of the abstractness, but I like it still
This kind of shot is, in my opinion, overdone especially on DPC. I think you have the right idea, but to succeed, you need this to say WOW!, but it just doesn't. This really needs some more work before that happens.
Very nice abstract and I guess you spent a lot of time on the set up. B&W works well here, anyway, water is not accented enough for my personal taste. I guess these are waterdrops, but for me the main subject is a Vasarely-like abstract painting when I look at this photo, and not the water itself, which I think should be more impostant.
