Taken outside with a kids bubble gun. Bro-in-law was the bubble creator and I was the shooter. With the wind going a bit and autofocus it was quite rough to follow these buggers and get the focus and capture at the same time! This was basically a lucky shot with both of them right next to each other with a decent background that made their colors nicely viewable. No crop here, this is the exact size of the capture using my 300 Telephoto.

This is definetly a shot where the sum is greater than the total of the parts. Two worked definetly better than one, and I think three or more would have been a less pleasing composition.
Saturation, color, lighting, hues, compositon, are all very good.
I'm not sure there is anyplace else in the frame you could put the bubbles and look better. Yes, they are a bit centered. But given the two, and the size needed to appreciate the detail in the reflections, this is about what you had to do.
I would suggest darkening the light highlight to the left of the frame. It does distract from the bubbles a bit, and would be allowable under advanced edtiting rules. Also the background behind the right bubble goes a bit dark to be that big.
All in all, I lke this picture a lot! Very creative!
