Wow, great capture, I would be proud of this shot too! The timing to catch this is great. I will agree with some of the other post that a bit of sharpening and maybe a boost of contrast with USM would take this to the next level of amazing. I might crop a bit off the right side as well but that is just a matter of taste for me, anyway, well done and congrats on a fine pic. If you ever give it a run through some sharpening let me know as I would love to see it! Trevor~

Interesting photo...

I would have to agree with klstover and say that you score might have suffered from the lack of an indicator as to the scale.

Only the bubbles in the glass or the jell, which aren't noticeable at first, give away the fact that is is not taken on a lake or the ocean. The blue appears to be a cloudy sky in a background blurred by a short depth of field.

I really like the color of the green and the shapes, the upper third of the frame serves as more of a distraction.

I don't know how much more room you had to work with, lower on the vase. However, the texture and shape of the green and more bubbles, if you could get them, might make for a very interesting abstract.

Hard to tell this is a macro. But it is such an amazingly beautiful abstract. Green is my favorite color and this shot is just so nice to look at.

Give me your email and I'll send you the photo I took that's almost the same as this one. (yours is better) I took mine in Japan before I even heard of this website. Just submitted my first photo on the high contrast challenge.
