** Hello from the Critique Club **
I noticed that this is your first entry. My comments are broken down into compositional and technical elements.
Composition
The bubbles around the person walking is a very interesting idea. The Rule of Thirds is a key compositional element as the eye tends to be drawn to specific points and lines in an image. Essentially, take an image and break it into thirds from left to right, top to bottom. You are left with 9 segments. Often, the right third is preferable for main subjects. In this photo, placing the feet on the lower right point and right third line and surround the image with the bubbles would have added a strong compositional element.
The other problem is the angle: the shot straight down is not as interesting as other angles. Imagine that you are walking down the street and you look down. The view is ordinary, and common. Shooting low to the ground would add an interesting perspective. Experiment with this. Take an array of photos in a similar scene standing up, then on your knees, then on your stomach, and finally, on your back. You will find new vantage points and more interesting compositions.
Technical
If anything, this photo is extremely out of focus and suffers some chromatic aberrations, a fault of the camera lens itself. The lighting seems a bit strong, was this taken mid day? Try taking the photo when light is at a shallow angle. |

I gave this an 8. Though soft and slightly blurry, it struck me as an interesting and fun composition. I actually thought this might have been from Posthumous.

| Good color in the bubbles. Focus could be a little sharper. |

| Nice concept but it really needs focusing, less noise it would seem and some work on lighting..especially working on the colour in any processing program |

| This had some potential, but there's just too much motion blur for my taste |
