Wanted to do this with sparkling water - bubbles in the water!

Two mistakes:

1) DO not use chilled sparkling water (dew on glass!)

2) Bubbles refused to stay - next time bring one of those stomach pills that emits bubbles in water instead!

So, instead it was a picture with bubbles on outside of glass - dew. The bokeh of the background - the ocean - emphasizes the object in the foreground, as it is water as well. "Heaven2Ocean" - had to add H2O as many probably would not see the meaning of it ...

Did some other nice pics with random bypassers blowing bubbles with a straw that I brought. Nice, but no "Bokeh" in these pics, unfortunately!

I had to use F/8, as the light was so bright, even with 1/2000 and ISO 50. But I still got my "Bokeh", even satisfying the "There must be circles for Bokeh" choir :-)

Great, this was my number 2, really met the challenge, one of the few that did in my opinion.

Thank you all for the nice and constructive comments!

My highest score so far, something new to beat.

Now, off to look for some stationary stationery ...

Gorgeous shot, KÃ¥re! The colors and dew make it over the top special. I didn't vote on this challenge at all, but kind of surprised that this didn't do better. I bet you've got a ribbon in your future :-)

Bokeh makes the glass look good.

I was somewhat free with the 10's but with 428 phtos it was hard. I would pick this to be in the top 3. As Goldie Locks would say this one is "just right"

Nice idea. Seems to have some noise that does add to the image.

Nice colours and evokes a certain feeling of thirst about to be satisfied with a nice clean glass of water, nature's best drink most often ;-) 9.

Technically good. Composition is well thought out too... Concept is perhaps the least interesting in this picture.
