I like this and the idea, so I'd like to try give some advice (maybe by writing my thoughts I can learn something). I think the original's background and lighting are the first major difference. Also the perspective. So experiment with that. The lighting on yours is quite harsh, so the reflections are quite hot when bumping the contrast. I think (don't know) that soft light from a diffused source works here - also the BG needs to be well lit.
Then, for post, you can increase the contrast and correct the colours. I think if you've set up light properly, post is easy. I've found that using duplicates of the image with different blending modes give nice contrasts.
I'd love to have time to experiment with bubbles like this because I think I might be able to learn a lot in the process. |

| with 625 bubble shots it would have been nice to see what you were going for. |

I did not find the original you refer to. Note, I didn't look at all 6000+ ribbon winners.
Seems like a bit of noise reduction and white balance could make this stand out. |
