 I really wanted to enter a photo in this challenge and for the whole week, I was struggling to find an idea to fit this difficult challenge.

One night, I was having a really cool Coors Light when I noticed the very little droplets on it. Then I got this idea. I used my nail to isolate one droplet and took the shot with my new macro lens.

Thank you for comments, votes, and blue ribbon. I wasn't expecting that one AT ALL!!! What a great way to start a week full of exams!! :)

Congrats on your blue. I agree with Sandy, I've tried to reshape water drops before and failed.

I really like this. :) What *is* this a picture of exactly, anyway?

brilliant! isolation, distance, loneliness in a crowd, all conveyed with the appropriate coolness of color/tone 8

I'm a sucker for bubbles, well done, could have cropped a bit more.

or infected!
HA, this is a cool shot

That big bubble is about to take over thats all. He is like the borg.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/29/2008 08:49:49 PM
Wow, this is very effective (and abstract thank-you). If I had to guess I'd say this might be the bottom of a pan of water boiling, but I'm not sure how you'd isolate the one bubble unless it was a lucky catch. Congratulations and good luck with the voters.

This is different

 09/29/2008 12:32:05 AM
funny. I seem to remember saying bubbles weren't going to do it for me. This really is quite effective.
