Description


Another simple shot of some bubbles on a pond. There are very subtle differences between this one and the original “Bubbles“. There has been indecision in my house as to which is a better shot.

Comments welcome!

I can see why the indecision Mike - they are very similar but quite different in feeling this one is sharp and upfront the other delicate and serene #747296

Everybody - Thanks for the kind comments! Barbara - I think you really nailed the differences between the two shots. I couldn’t put my finger on it until I read your comment. Thanks! - Mike #4852200

Ronald F. Fischer September 27, 2007

Wonderful captures, Mike! I would give this one a slight edge for the reasons already given. It just has a bit more contrast and sharpness that makes it pop! #4854766

This one is terrific, Mike! Like everyone else, I'm drawn to the simplicity, but it's not simplistic by any means. Great work. #6239920

John - Thanks! This is one of those shots that just falls into your lap...but if you aren't ready it is gone before you know it. I was glad that I was ready! :) - Mike #6242741
