Thanks to all the voters and for the comments. I appreciate every single one.
Posed...? Certainly not. But I can understand that it was generally perceived to be set-up and that's OK . If it was a great candid, the viewer would not even question the 'validity' of the shot. Its all a leaning curve for me...and I can only get better. Thank you for viewing my photograph.

Love the composition and angle. She seems not to be very impressed with the camera. Interesting Lady - You get a 7 from me.

Thanks for the great votes and the comments.
I wanted to make it a double refraction by capturing a bubble floating past a sunrise/sunset but alas...it was not to be. The weather was not in my favor all week.
This was one of the 'test' bubbles from the first day I decided to see how well it photographed. I had to chase after it - thus the blurry background. Didn't manage to get a good background for the rest of the week. But heck.....I am now an expert at producing bubbles.
And yes, that is a pepper plant.
Bubble mixture: 3 cups water (not hard); 1/8 cup or there abouts of the best dishwashing liquid on the market in your area; 1/8 glycerine or there abouts. Mix together - leave overnight or longer.
The 'bubble blower' I used was homemade. A reshaped plastic coated clothes hanger. This was actually not so great. Seek out a better one, if you are serious.
