Club soda, blue plate and lemon. Close up of some of the bubbles that form on the lemon when soda is poured over it. I set this up on a blue plate to provide a strong colour contrast.

Gordon, This shot is very well done, as usual, and I love the way the blue and yellow contrast eachother. The very sharp focus really grabs the eyes. The only thing "wrong" is that the white part at the bottom is realy bright, and seems a bit overexposed on this monitor. At work, where the monitor is slightly darker, it was just right.

Great work.

Frames are for hanging pictures, they should NOT be PART of the picture. This detracts from an otherwise EXCELLENT photo.

I really like this shot. The border is a good idea for this shot, just not sure about the color. Nice work 9

This is very cool. This may win. The front row of bubbles are in perfect focus and the blurry back row gives more interest. And the deep blue and yellow/white for ground is excellent. Border is great as well. 9.

Very nice abstract, great combination of colours. The white in the foreground is very effective. 8

The bubbles in this shot are excellent, the blue is very clear. The title lends me to believe that the lemon is the main subject and I don't see that represented well.

A little blown out, but nice colours and contrast. Great focus.

Nice effect, but a bit overexposed. Would be really nice if a bit darker.

great bubbles. I like the bold, blue, white and yellow colors but the bottom of the frame is too overexposed.

Very pretty...love the light and colors. The blue is awesome. I do think the bottom 1/4 could of been left out...it's very bright and don't really add to the shot....

Very nicely executed. The choice of color is really wonderful. nice touch to see the bubbles refracted in the front one. Good luck.. Jacko. 9

Greetings :) This photo is simply 'refreshing' to my eye. The sound of the the carbonation and the scent of the lemon combine nicely in this photo. Since this image is visually appealing and stirring senses other than vision, I think it's a great photograph :) This is one of the few photos I have seen recently that appeal to multiple senses this way. "Touch" is the only sense that I have trouble relating to this shot. It's not always natural to want to reach out and touch something wet. Excellent work... = 10

Now this is very creative!! I love the blues, yellows and all those bubbles. Clarity is brilliant as well. Nicely done and gl in this weeks challenge.

Absolutely beautiful colors. Love the contrast of the yellow and the blue. The reflections on the bubble are simply stunning. Makes them really pop out of the shot. Good depth of field helps to separate foreground bubbles from background ones. Framing really works here.
