Breaktimeby
LonzComment by ursula: Greetings from the Critique Club
Interesting image, fits the challenge description (it has bubbles) even though it doesn't scream "bubbles" because the bubbles themselves are largely out of focus.
The main positives for the image are the colour and the high contrast. The main distractions are the unclear subject and the focus on the skin (is it skin?) rather than the bubbles.
It is hard to tell what you were trying to show here. You say, "breaktime", but the image doesn't really give much of an indication of how it's supposed to be breaktime. Bubbles on a hand? The horizontal line towards the bottom and the bright glares are quite distracting.
From a technical point of view, F5.6 (lens wide open) is not enough DOF in this case in my opinion. I imagine you used a tripod, because of the slow shutter speed on a long lens. Are the bright reflections a flash? It is hard to tell.
Overall, I think this is an interesting concept to work with, but it needs better definition as to what you want to show here, and better execution, for the image to be successful.
I hope this helps.
