Bubbles of joy

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This should be family snap-shotty but for me it brings something extra and I can't say why. Sure we have the great framing through the bubble but it is more than that. It seems to be a moment distilled if that makes sense. I was in Stratford in Avon a few weeks ago and partook of a similar scene myself; perhaps that's why I feel this resonance.

Critical stuff: The guy on the bike is a little distracting - I'd have been tempted to crop him.

Overall: A moment shared. Thank you.

A more selective DOF would have benefited this shot, but I like the idea!

How on Earth did they light them all and then disappear? Very unique shot and well handled exp in the dark.

Good night exposure and choice of viewpoint, it must have taken you ages to count them all!
