 Despite the happy look of this picture, by the time I finally got something sort of like I wanted, I was ready to throw the backdrop, the bubbles, and the camera out into snow. I really wanted lots of little in focus bubbles floating around, BUT, you take what you can get. And I got one big ole bubble and some outta focus other ones. Such is life.

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition- Good
Background- Good
My Opinion- I think the idea and background are the winners in this shot. If: the bubble was in focus and not yellow ring-and the colors brighter this would of pulled it all together. Like you said such is life! Over all it's a likable shot.

imagine it's maddening trying to focus on bubbles, eh? good idea, better with sharper bubbles.

Colorful. Focus and clarity on the bubble does not work for me.

the bubbles aren't in focus really. it's a good idea though, if you could pull that off

I think the framing works for this, but the focus doesn't. I think it would've been better to make the DOF greater so that some of the bubbles were in focus. Nice idea. The wand looks slightly out of focus too.

will be much better if the bubble was in focus instead of yellow ring

great lighting and good depth of field. the composition and color are also nice. i would maybe have liked the blower a little closer to the camera ie bigger in the frame

Nice inventive shot..

Yay! Would like to see the bubbles sharper. Perhaps a less distracting background?

Nice idea and the background is great (fits the picture). The one thing is the bubble should be in better focus if possible although it's tough with a shot like this.
