Tiny Bubble

[Julie Kenward]

This is a bubble I caught up with yesterday on the surface of a pond at our local botanical garden. It was close to midday when it was shot so I found all this great color bouncing around underneath the water when I got home. I did do some post-processing, bumping up the undertones of the water and I also did a very heavy crop.

Hi Julie,
I really enjoy this one. You should go back and rotate the canvas about 2 degrees CCW so the bubble is level...........other than that....perfect placement, beautiful color, and very well seen.
Very nicely done,

Good eye, Roman! I totally missed the slight drop off.

Agree on the rotation, great compo, small subjects should be place close to the corners. Great going and killer water!

I like the bubble and the soft colors, and agree with the rotation. Nice and sharp UFO. Looks like a little flying saucer! :)

Very nice! Great idea. I agree with the leveling idea, so, I tried it. I had to do it about 4 times before I got what I think is level! I also placed a "rule of thirds" grid over the leveled image and then cropped to put your bubble on the upper left spot. I reposted to see what it would look like, as I feel that the "preview post" sometimes doesn't look like the actual repost.

Hey Julie, very nice find, love the water''s soft abstract colors and the bubble adds a real nice touch.

[Julie Kenward]

Great job, Dan! Isn't it amazing how little tiny tweaks can make such a difference?
