Great juxtaposition between him and the graphics on the truck. I might've liked it panned back just a bit as it seems kind of tight.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Well, I don't know what I can say that the other commenters haven't already covered. First off, congrats on the top 20 finish! It's well deserved.

I love the flowy feel of the bubble shapes, the variety of sizes in the bubbles, the variety of tones in the background against the blue edges of the bubbles, and the textures. You've given the bubble just enough room around the edges without making it feel cramped or empty. I do have to agree with the one commenter though who said that they weren't fond of the border. I see where you were trying to pull in the color from the bubbles, but the blue line just puts it over the top for me. I would have gone with a simple black (or maybe b/w) border I think.

I love when such simple concepts turn out so beautifully, and this is a great example of that. Nicely done!

Hope this critique was helpful! :)

Pretty, pretty! One of my favorite to photograph. I love the shallow DOF and pastel background.

Beatuiful! I like the pink and green against the black. How nice of your husband to help. Mine used to but I take too many pics now.
