First impressions: Relaxing feel, pleasing colour

Composition: Placement of the bubbles works well, ones on the right and three almost center. Also, the leftmost, rightmost and uppermost bubbles form a triangle. The triangle is a key design element that keeps the viewer moving from one section of the image to another.

Exposure: Exposure may be a little under though no areas seem too black. Exposing more may have blown out some of the white areas.

Impact: This is where I think the image is lacking a bit, if only due to the softness of the focus. Having sharper focus on the central bubbles I think would improve the photo.

Keep experimenting and have fun.

A levels adjustment wouldn't hurt here; it just looks too murky, inverted or not

cool, love the ripples, the green color really sets this off too.

Typical water drop shot but being a negative adds to it I think. Great tones.

The border is very heavy and rather distracting from the image. The flow of the water ripples are good, but overall the image looks rather soft on focus.
