Really not sure how this will do. I love the series of shots I took for this challenge but I'm not sure they're high vote shots

This is a glass paperweight with bubbles in it, shot through into a mid afternoon sky to back and side light it.

Desaturated in RAW as well as contrast adjustment.
Into CS3 for:
Levels
Curves
USM
add border

I hope this scores around my average but it could end up near 5!

A good looking shot. I like the widescreen style crop and borders ;)
B/W conversion looks great. (no vote)

Good choice for title, as it leads the imagination along the abstract path. Having a lot of the background blurred works well because so many of the foreground spheres are sharp.
