I was shooting a small falls and noticed the foamy bubbles from the cascading water was ending up at my feet near the edge of the river. I thought it would be an interesting image of the bubbles as they swirled around. I set up my tripod and looked through the view finder to discover my reflections in the bubbles. I cranked up the ISO to get the speed up to stop the swirling bubbles in place. I took about forty shots and got this one to work. Fuji S3 Pro, Sigma 180 macro, Tripod, ISO800, F3.7, 1/256, natural light.

Mike, I agree with Fabs. Great job!! This is the kind of image I would have simply over looked.

I was showing my wife some of your work last night (she likes your vision), and stumbled on to this image. We were both stunned. I have to say, Mike, this is great. The creativity, and execution are all here. Excellent work.
