This one doesn't really do anything for me, because it's too hard to figure out what's in the picture. It looks mostly like blobs of light and dark on my monitor.

Lovely, simple, but unusual perspective - really makes use of that wonderful spiral at the centre. Shame the leaves are so tattered/ chewed. 8

a closer zoom and crisper focus would definitley make this one better, the dmaged leaves take away from the symmetry of the plant. nice pic, though.

Nice composition, but too blurry.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments and good advice, it does a first timer a lot of good.....thank you people.

The graininess, lens flash and sunflare where all positive choices...I liked the way the colours of the bubble where mirrored by the colour of the graininess in the sky...I liked the strong diagonal that, together with highlight on the top right of bubble, the flash and flare created...I felt it led the eye in and out of the picture and added a sense of movement to the bubble...the lack of sharp focus on the bubble was because I don't no what the hell I'm doing..........ooooh a bit of self-justification does you good!

This is one of my favorites. It would look great as a magazine cover because of the placement on the page, but also because the colors and textures are so vivid. It would have been nice had a little bug not gotten to the leaves since I would think a gardening magazine of any kind would try to feature a near-perfect plant on their cover...unless of course the cover article is about how to deal with plant-eating bugs. LOL Anyway, I think you fit the criteria of the challenge very nicely with this shot.

Not crazy for the focus.

A photo after me own heart! its so magical and wonderful and light-filled. the eye is constantly trying to solve the questions posed here; i.e. "what is that bubble?" and "where is the bubble?", and so forth. A photo which challenges the mind and eye.

this must have been tough to get! I find the sky a bit grainy, and a little too much light from the right, but the colours on the bubbles are great!
