Bubbles II
Uploaded: September 26, 2007 04:39:36
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!

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 #4852200Ronald 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! #4854766Michael Umbreit September 30, 2007

This one is terrific, Mike! Like everyone else, I'm drawn to the simplicity, but it's not simplistic by any means. Great work. #6239920Michael Umbreit July 28, 2008
