Crop, Curves, Smart Sharpen.

How it was done: Fill a glass with the little glass balls florists use in the bottom of vases, add one tiny cherry tomato for color. Then add most of a bottle of Schwepps Tonic Water for extra bubbles. Place on a red mat, and shoot about 50 pictures with various lighting. Lighting comes from a nice strong flashlight.

Awesome job explaining what you did. I love when I photographer shares how they were able to create something. It is really interesting that you said you placed this on a red mat, it really doesn't like there would be one. I would think reading the description the photo would contain many more red highlights. I think you did an excellent job capturing the bubbles. I think a lot of the voters who counted down on images where the bubbles were not all 100% clear did not try to take a photo of bubbles. I think you did a great job capturing the soda with the moving bubbles. I love that you used the cherry in the image to break up the colors and draw attention in. The glow produced by the bubbles on the left hand side is very visually pleasing. It would be really cool, if all the bubbles looked this way. I also like the placement of the cherry, not perfectly in the center of the image. Great composition and good job!
