Before I continue voting (and I will go change my comments depending on the answers I get here).....
Do you consider a water droplet(s) a BUBBLE?

Not really but after seeing the photographs entered, I think a lot of others obviously do.

Personally I don't consider water droplets "bubbles", but I've seen several photos in the "bubbles" challenge that were water droplets that "appeared" to be "bubbles". I think it's a very creative take on the challenge to create an illusion of "bubbles". As I vote, if it looks like a bubble, then to me it is a bubble.
My reasoning is that bubbles are very hard to control so if someone can use a more manageable subject (ie. water droplets) to create the effect of bubbles, then Kudos to them!

| Nope, sorry too many entries in this one that for me don't meet the challenge. Some water sudds are bubbles, some sre just water drops. I don't agree with the whole bubbles are hard to manage idea, so you just work harder at getting a shot. |

I don't understand some of these entries. Some are just way off in technical aspects and meeting the challenge. The ones that are good, are really good, the ones that are bad are really bad! lol

Even if they have the appearance of bubbles? I didn't enter this challenge so it makes no difference to me. Just curious.

I posed this question on the bubbles score thread too but WHAT IF we only voted (and commented) on those photos that deserve an above average score (average being 5) and skipped the rest? What would that do to the results?

| Just something to remember - bubbles can appear different than we are sometimes accustomed to if they are in a different medium. There are big soapy mixture bubbles that we blow through the air, there are tight little air bubbles in oil, and then there are bubbles like from a scuba diver's air tank - all are quite different. |

Hmmm.... Who decides what "deserves an above average score". What if no one votes on the crappiest photo of the bunch and their friend gives them a 10 (the only vote)... Wouldn't it win?

Bubble - A protective, isolating envelope or cover
A thin, usually spherical or hemispherical film of liquid
A pocket formed in a solid (as a bubble on the skin)
As a shape; round (usually a liquid) held in place by surface tension. |

Listens to Jack Johnsons song: Bubble Toes
I think bubbles can be found in alot of mediums... as everyone has stated above :)

| Bubbles, by most definitions I have seen, consist of liquid enclosing a gas, such as water pushed into a bubble by air. |

water droplets are NOT bubbles. A bubble is empty and a water drop is filled with water.

| After having made my first attack on voting in this group I now see what you are talking about - there are lots that do not seem to be bubbles, rather water droplets. Maybe I should redact my previous post. |

This is exactly right. I have never heard of a bubble filled with water.

Might I offer a bit of caution when voting whether it is a bubble or water droplets. I personnally know of at least one image that IS actually bubbles but could appear to water droplets (not mine by the way). Hate to see this actually good image lose out because it doesn't appear to be a bubble like you would usually see.
Since I entered the bubble challenge and know of the above mentioned image I will be voting on the 3rds challenge.
I do agree that if it is without a doubt water droplets then vote it down but also vote on the technical skills of the photograph as well.

well, a water drop with a small amounth of air inside (where you can see just some "empty" space could also be called a bubble ... or not ??? |

The question, as usual, comes down to, "Are you voting for:
a. pictures of bubbles no matter what they look like, or
b. pictures that "say" or look like bubbles?
Those who think of the challenge as one which asks you to creatively portray a bubble will probably go with "a."
Those who think of the challenge as one which asks you to complete an "assignment" to portray "bubbleness" may tend toward "b."
Then, of course, there are those who just vote for all the pretty pictures--the prettier the pic, the more likely they'll be to include anything close to a bubble. |

yeah i was wondering this too. "this" being "why are there so many non-bubble entries in a bubble thing
i don't think i will rate non-bubble entries or maybe i will rate them all in the lower regions for not being on topic
water droplets just aren't bubbles even if they are vaguely (and i stress the word vauely) bubble-shaped. its not a take on the bubble idea, its just not bubble-ish at all.

| After more inspection it appears that most are bubbles, some are water droplets, and a few others are actually bubbles but they might not look like the typical bubble - I hope we are all careful here. Maybe during validation it could be noted that a validated entry is actually a bubble or not. |

The question seems to be... do YOU?

There are many kinds of bubbles. Housing bubbles, stock market bubbles, and according to Google:
*a hollow globule of gas (e.g., air or carbon dioxide)
*form, produce, or emit bubbles; "The soup was bubbling"
*house of cards: a speculative scheme that depends on unstable factors that the planner cannot control; "his proposal was nothing but a house of cards"; "a real estate bubble"
*an impracticable and illusory idea; "he didn't want to burst the newcomer's bubble"
*ripple: flow in an irregular current with a bubbling noise; "babbling brooks"
*burp: expel gas from the stomach; "In China it is polite to burp at the table"
*a dome-shaped covering made of transparent glass or plastic
In the long run, it seems to me that since photography is, to a certain extent, a medium of illusion, if the image gives the appearance of a bubble it might well be considered one. |
