It's an interesting concept Mike and nice experiment with a pleasing composition. The lighting looks a little flat and I feel perhaps some side illumination would give it a little more contrast and texture. Shadows would actually give it a bit more depth and dimension.

Saturation feels a little bit much and the flash catchlights are a little distracting.

Mike - out of curiousity how did you light the subject?

How'd you do this? What is the stuff you used to make the bubbles?

I used an alien bee 800 with a soft box attached. It was in the upper right corner of my lens about a foot away level with the lens. I dont remember the setting off hand. I used a plate of glass elevated about 10 inches from a green tupperware lid. Used a 100mm L macro lens and shot straight down. I changed the color in PSE, didn't like the original green. SAPEARL, I do understand where your coming from and should have had more shadowing. One other thing, used some rain x on the glass to get the bubbles. I seen this in the setup post. They used skittles in there first attempt and it turned out pretty cool so I thought I'd build upon it and use solid colors. Thanks for the input! It's always good to get feedback.

mike - that's clever and very creative.

Interesting Mike - The Rainex is a really good idea for the "beading" effect - would not have thought about it.

sapear, I wish I would have thought of it! I seen it here on one of the forums. Thanks for the comments!
