I love this! The kids looks totally absorbed in the bubbles he is busy creating!

I'd have liked a sepia tone background rather than the bright one to go with the tittle. Just my 2.0 cents!

Tnx for the shoot!

I think this is great. I love the bubbles! one small thing is i think i might have liked to see the whole head of the child.

09/19/2007 04:48:40 AM
Great pic! It's a shame what compression does to the red fade.

09/19/2007 03:28:55 AM
Great shot! Wonderful color and gradient. The varying degrees of focus on the bubbles works wonderfully. After I bump this up this will be one of my two 10s for the challenge. Hope this is scoring strong for you.
