 I was merely trying to get a shot of a drop falling through a bubble, never did i imagine i would capture this!

- if only i could do some selective editing - it was a toss up between getting a completely black background or having the red be a little bit brighter/livelier. I went with the black background... probably to my detriment but hey...

Very Nice! I wonder how many pics you took before getting this one.

Excellent capture of the bubble breaking. I am a little distracted by the bubbles off to the right, in the background. Looking at it makes me want a cranberry and vodka on ice!

nice timing

Great shot! Im thinking that based on the splash within the bubble you popped the bubble yourself(or assisted) by droping an object on the bubble. If anything I would like more DOF.(including the proximal edge of the bubble base.)

I would have LOVED to have seen this from a different angle...maybe more overhead so the bursting edge isn't competing with the horizon.

it must be hard to capture it right then. (9)

Neat! I think I'd prefer it if the little bubbles around the circumference were all in focus too. Nice composition.

Wow, you captured the moment! How many goes did that take? Like this photo but wish that the bubble just stood out a bit more.

How many frames did you shoot trying to get this exact moment! Impressive timing. Super crisp focus, but let down somewhat by the background which makes the bursting bubble quite hard to see.
