Shot with a Sigma 28-70 and 68mm of extension tubes. Off camera flash with Flash positioned at 12 oclock and at a 45 degree angle. No post processing done.

I have always been a fan of the way Oil played with light. It was nice to be able to capture it...

Love the colors in this one!

Didn't leave comments on this challenge but just wanted to say that it got a high vote from me as i like this image a lot. The colors are rich and it's a great abstract. I notice some banding and struggled with that myself in a few images. Anything one can do about that?

Beautiful colors, and nicely executed.

Superb ! I love how this just balances and isn't overpowering. Awesome photo !

Good colors and composition. Has an excellent abstract look.
06/09/2003 05:15:57 PM
No tips here, you nailed the shot..vivd, vivid colors!
06/09/2003 04:42:25 PM
Very creative and well shot
06/09/2003 03:59:58 PM
Beautiful. Stunning saturated colors. This is definitely an image that grabs the viewer. 10

Wow! What colors - what is mongolian fire oil? that is likely to be a unique liquid in the challenge. I wonder a little at your choice of composition - but perhaps the cropping of all but one bubble makes the viewer wonder what lies beyond the edges of the photo. It works! 9

Looks to me like a computer generated piece. I might be wrong.

Very pretty colours - I like the composition too.

Great Image, good colour banding...oh by the way what is Mongolian fire oil (other that what it says)?
06/08/2003 01:06:24 AM
great shot. clever of you to come up with this idea as well. good job.

Great colors & lighting!
06/05/2003 11:42:16 AM
Very colorful. Good job.

My favourite this week. Beautiful colours. Is Mongolian Fire Oil a real substance?! Nice composition. Inspired! 10

This is a beautiful abstract -- the colors are really rich and the cropping is done well. The minuses for me are that it's hard to say that this describes or explains liquid to me (even though it IS liquid, you'd have to tell someone for them to know it), and that the reflection-in-a-bubble-over-blurry-background thing has really been played in the last few challenges, making it feel a touch cliche to me through no fault of your own. Overall, it's a very nice photo and I've scored you pretty high. :)

Colors are great, just wish the top drop was perfectly round like the others, great shot.........
06/04/2003 08:47:31 PM
ouuuuu I like that
06/04/2003 05:57:56 PM
I love that fire oil. I have a bottle in my fridge. I probably never would have thought to use it here, though! Good detail/focus.
06/04/2003 08:39:04 AM
Beautiful colour spectra.
06/04/2003 05:32:32 AM
It doesn't really look all that liquidy to me except for the very bottom of the top center droplet. It's an interesting idea, though, and would make a great abstract piece.
06/04/2003 03:42:19 AM
very nice colors. Too bad the big bubble does look a bit dented
06/04/2003 02:10:24 AM
Wow. Neat shot. Saw this exact same concept on psig today too. Maybe it's yours too, but if not check it out //www.photosig.com/go/photos/view?id=931844.
Love the color in this shot. I'm a huge fan of color and this take the cake. I especially love the background. Very nice vivid colors, and nothing distracting.
I only wish that the large bubble in the middle didn't have that white line that makes it look 'not round'. That little tiny part is a bit distracting, but hey, what can you do? Great job.
