Greetings from the critique club. FIrst off let me say this is a nice idea from the challenge stand point. I like the many bubbles and the negative space. My biggest concern with this shot is the lack of focus. I can see the bubble to the left almost in focus, just a touch off, but the shallow DOF and the lack of overall focus takes away from the shot. User a larger number Fstop will get deeper DOF and more in focus. Good luck in future challenges.

I think if these were in focus this pic would have done really well because the colors are gorgeous!

I really like the simplicity of this. If it was sharper I would have given it a better score.

Could have been good, if the image had better focus.

I like it, but unfortunately it's out of focus and the contrast is poor (the background would look better completely black). The bubble-part in the lower left corner also bugges me.

Love the idea and composition but the bubbles are too out of focus. Still one of my favourites though. Well done

The black background and sharp focus, combined with the indistinct refelections and bright colors makes this an excellent shot.

a bit blurry

I love the colors of the bubbles & their clairty. I like how they fill the whole page without "overdoing" it. I think this is nicely composed also, maybe one or two more, placed in the upper right corner would have filled it out nicely!

Shaky/blurry, but quite good for being so simple. I also like the dark background very much.

Good idea and like the arrangement but it looks slightly out of focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Like the colors, but image is too oof. One trick I learned is to use manual focus, then focus on one area, blow bubbles and when they get to the focus point, I snap the pic. Continuous focus and shutter release also works relatively well.
