  Thanks Mary! Outside in the bright sunshine I filled a Pyrex glass dish with about a half inch of water. Then I elevated the dish about a foot off the ground (using tall, sturdy plastic glasses). I put a colorful shirt on the ground underneath the glass dish. I poured a little bit of olive oil in the dish of water. My camera, with a 60mm macro lens, was directly over the dish and set on f3.2 for shallow depth of field. It was such a fun project. Try it!

  I love the colors, the bubbles and the over all look of this image. This is a very clever idea. It is so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing the "how to" information. Merna
