after reading your explanation, I "get it" now but I sure wasn't in the minority. thinking out of the box is encouraged here but this was a stretch, even though it is a wonderfully executed image.

Now I understand.

Much too clever for my simple brain!

I actually scored this better than you got ... I figured that the concept you talked about was what you were looking at ... although I don't think that was conveyed in the shot.

Nice shot. However, this is QUITE a stretch for the "Mother" challenge. I'll give it a 6, but it would have been an 8 in a "Bubbles challenge.
01/08/2006 08:53:43 PM
Cute image, but seems like it's a little misplaced in this challenge.
01/08/2006 08:02:48 PM
Not too sure how Mother comes in to this image. Interesting shot however.
01/08/2006 05:04:22 PM
Sorry, doesn't realy say mother to me. I must be missing something.

Good luck anyway

Hmm...sorry, I see absolutely NO connection to the challege topic, and though I have looked at this for awhile, and tried to think of a possible connection, for me, there is none. For me, personally, this is a DNMC.
01/08/2006 03:11:53 PM
i dont see how this fits the challenge
01/08/2006 10:26:30 AM
erm.. i bet you have alot of comments that say that this picture has nothing to do with the challenge
01/08/2006 08:33:18 AM
Is this the mother bubble? nice shot
01/08/2006 01:54:25 AM
Mother?
01/06/2006 06:52:30 PM
Mother?
01/06/2006 03:22:02 PM
Huh?
01/06/2006 02:28:13 PM
Not sure how this fits the challenge...
01/06/2006 07:35:19 AM
I need more help to see mother in this pic
01/06/2006 02:06:40 AM
ummmmmmmmmmmmm..OK??
01/05/2006 07:49:13 PM
Nice sharp image, but not sure how it relates to the challenge.
01/04/2006 09:57:50 PM
Cool photo but does not meet the challenge.....perhaps you entered it in the wrong contest?
01/04/2006 04:13:10 PM
What the heck does this have to do with "mother" ???? I don't get it.....3
01/03/2006 10:43:39 PM
I'm going to do it...How does this meet the challenge?
01/03/2006 09:41:32 PM
Very nice composition! The subject matter could have been better. Nice image quality. Has potential of being really creative. - 5

Mother of all bubble filled spheres?
01/03/2006 08:39:19 PM
How does this fit in with the theme .... ?
01/03/2006 06:11:21 PM
Back for comments. You know you shouldn't have submitted this one. :) A very competent shot but it doesn't represent the theme anywhere near as well as you could've done. Damn our update button addictions. :)

Nice color, lighting, and clarity; makes for a very interesting abstract macro...however...it is quite vague in it's connection to the "Mother" challenge. It's difficult for a viewer to establish a connection to "Mother" by looking at bubbles. I have a feeling you'll suffer in the voting for that reason alone. DPC is historically rigid on challenge interpretation and if your voters can't get the connection within a few seconds, you are out of luck. Best wishes in this and subsequent challenges.

great shot of bubles, but where's mother... mother nature? conception? im not sure what you were trying to get accross in thsi shot. I feel like there was no meaning to it just something that looks nice.
01/03/2006 09:59:40 AM
Just wondering how this fits into "mother"..
01/03/2006 07:13:13 AM
I am sorry, but I do not see the relationship to the theme with this photo. "Mother" can represent many ideas and views but I cannot see how this photo represents "Mother".
01/03/2006 06:10:33 AM
I am at a loss at what this has to do with Mother.....Good image but...
01/02/2006 11:09:09 PM
What does this have to do with mother? 1 for completely disregarding the challenge name!
01/02/2006 10:51:16 PM
Unfortunatly I couldnt get mother out of this. If you could call it maybe cells, being part of mother nature or something I cold maybe connect it but just bubbles...I still gave it a 5 even though I normally socre lower for one I cant connect to a challenge. I like your colors and the focus on the bubbles is good, crop is nice, just dont get mother...

Mother?
01/02/2006 08:58:50 PM
Mother? Bubbles? A nice shot, indeed. Some deeper meaning that I just don't get? I guess so. Can't wait for the challenge to end. Perhaps there is an explanation attached to the entry.

01/02/2006 08:45:22 PM
how does this fit into the challenge
01/02/2006 08:28:38 PM
I must admit that I don't see how this fits into mother, but I'm a literal person anyways. Technically, I like the bubbles and color.

I've come back for a second look. The picture isn't too bad, but I'm just wracking my brain trying to come up with the mother-bubbles connection. It eludes me.

I'm not normally big on "meeting the challenge", but I'm lost here. Sorry. Beautiful shot!

01/02/2006 04:08:42 PM
Huh???? Mother???
01/02/2006 03:47:01 PM
neat pic but is it in the right challenge?
01/02/2006 01:13:45 PM
haha, mother of all bubbles? nice shot but... I think I just missed the mother, good lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2006 11:57:51 AM
yeah ... not sure if I get the tie in to Mother sorry
01/02/2006 10:51:08 AM
When I think of bubbles, mom is always the first thing that comes to mind. (?)
01/02/2006 09:31:52 AM
I don't know what this has to do with Mother
01/02/2006 09:05:41 AM
I guess you're trying for the brown ribbon
01/02/2006 01:55:07 AM
um. wrong challenge maybe? nice photo...
01/02/2006 01:24:21 AM
Huh? Well done photo, but I do not see "Mother".
01/02/2006 01:12:29 AM
You'll have to forgive me if I completely miss the connection to the challenge here. I have thought of 'mother' in every sense I can think of, and not once do bubbles cross my mind. The shot is neat. I like the bubbles, and the color is amazing. Focus on the bubbles is nice and crisp, and DOF is appropriate. The photo just says nothing about Mother to me. Sorry. ~Heather~

Awesome! This is just perfect! My top pic! The best. Two thumbs up, five stars and a definite candidate for best of the decade challenge. I can't say enough good things about this. So few dare to go outside the box, but you did it! You ventured out! Good for you! Bravo! Let's see... I think "1" means "First Place" so I am giving this first place.
01/02/2006 12:32:45 AM
ummm....... huh? bubbles = mother?
