I thought this was a pretty cool photo and I gave you an 8 on it. I'm getting more and more into abstract photos and I can appreciate the simplicity and interesting details of this photo. I feel it can use some improvement, however. It looks like it wasn't real sharp to begin with and you needed to sharpen it up and it shows, unfortunately. I think increasing the constrast would have helped. By deepening the back ground color with the Levels tool the photo would have some more 'snap' to it. There is also some funny, fuzzy shapes among the bubbles that are distracting. I don't know if they could have been prevented or not. For the most part it is a fine photo that meets the theme but with some room for improvement. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comments. I would have liked it a bit clearer too, was a tricky subject to focus on. I have a different version that I took a while ago that I feel is a better picture. See //www.pbase.com/image/6684988
I like this photo. Very nice how you captured the bubbles. It also fits the challenge very well because water is one of the things people associate with the colour blue first. In my opinion the focus could be a bit better, especially the lower half looks a bit soft. -stephan
This reminds me of my macro shot. I love the color. It seems too dark tho, and doesn't really have a "subject" so my eye keeps searching around with nowhere to land.
Unusual texture type shot. I like the way the little spheres look metallic almost. It could be a little sharper. With this being so monochromatic, those few small blemishes really stand out. pretty good pic - Inspzil
