With a bit faster shutter speed this would have been a very cool shot. I like your concept - shows creativity.

Great idea and comp but much too blurry and too much noise.

The image definitely fits the challenge as there are bubbles to be seen, however the technical merits are a bit soft. The lighting is pretty good, I like the different levels of lighting and how it seems to bounce off of the one shell onto the other, I love seeing how light plays in and on water so this is a good tool to help highlight other areas of the image. That said, the light on the open shell is a bit harsh and you lose some detail there. The composition is alright, it looks as though you dropped the shells in the water? This gives a feeling of floating and movement which adds interest to an image. The focus is the biggest issue I think. The soft focus makes us lose quite a bit of detail with the bubbles, which should be a fairly important piece of this image due to the challenge. It also would increase the interest and impact of the photo if the shells had more definition. The color is a bit bland, however I do think were other aspects improved the cool color it has would work to the advantage. I think crisp focus and a slightly different use of light - taking advantage of how it works through water would have given this photograph a much better impact. I gave a 3 as it isn't horrible, there are some good portions to it and there is much to work with, but the overall presentation didn't move me at all.

Please don't be offended by this comment. I am making an effort to comment on all images that I scored below a 4. Although your image meets the challenge requirements, I believe attention to the following might have served to make it work better for me (Mind you, this is only MY opinion):
Composition is not bad, but it is out of focus and the bluish tint does not appeal to me. I do like the idea of bubbles created by dropping objects in water, though.
