the effect was actully what I was looking for

The effect is nice. The idea is good. And the photo could've been very good. But it bothers me the big air bubble(?) from the bottom. How did you get this effect?

actully the flower is upside down Dan...and thats why the bubble seems to br going down isnsteat of going up....I don't know but I took this bubble intentionly...more comments and rating will help me to judge it more preciely....thanks

I love this shot. It reminds me of a series of photos I've seen that the photographer froze flowers in water and used creative colored lighting to add the *wow* factor. I wish I can remember who the photographer was....

Nice!

Derris, nice picture. And the idea was excellent. All I'm gonna mention is that you need more contrast.

very interest subject and way he desplayed and it.

Another unusual, imaginative shot. Took me a while to work out whether the bubbles were air or water drops!

I want to mention that my scanner is very bad and unfortunatly I

didn't do any post work with this snap....

the photo was taken through a glass sheet and the flower is upside

down and with the help of a small pipe the air bubbles were being

made....amocng all the shots I took...I like this one very

much.....please rate and put comments....all the rating and comments

will be appeiated....thanks

Disagree about more contrast. The softness helps make the photo.

I am having a tough time figuring just which is your best snap, this is for sure one of them. Ive never pulled anything like this off and imagine it to be very difficult. Thanks for sharing.

I like it very much... The lack of contrast makes it look like some beautiful painting. Excellent!

Perfectly composed, nice, even lighting, and way cool effect. What more need I say? I love the bubbles.

Beautiful effect and execution. Sometimes less is more though--- the bubbles distract from the overall effect. I think a small, even tiny stream of bubbles would be much more subtle and give the viewer a pleasant surprise. They will notice something "different" about the photo, and upon looking at it more, they will see the bubbles. Images are so common these days that we tend to glance at them move on, but adding some surrealism and mystery with a surprise draws the viewer to look at the image longer and remember it.

Everything is just the way it should be here- low contrast and all. Think of S. Dali and that moment of surprised pleased confusion he aims for. You have it here, and I like it. this, by the way is very difficult to do deliberately.

very creative work, Derris. I like the soft colors here and interesting effect caused by the water which is not immediately obvious when viewed from a distance.

Creative work..very nice...

I've done the bubbles before, I put 2 hours into the effort. Ended up with some mediocre bubble shots and a bad ear-ache. Never thought to actually plant something in that wavy surface down there. So, "WELL DONE!", I say!
