I don't know I actually think it's really good. The lighting doesn't seem harsh to me.

I like this one a lot. Probably would have done better with softer lighting. Overall good job though, IMO.

IMO the light is a bit too harsh, but the picture nicely lives of the expectation of the popping bubble.

I don't understand the white space with the darkness in the upper right corner.

Goodness, when I opened this the first thing I thought of was that it was an out and out copy of from the 'bubbles' challenge. Fortunately I checked it and see that it is a completely different composition with a similar subject matter

I am guessing you have used real gum which has the advantage of letting you see the blowers lips but has created a couple of nasty light spots

If I was being very pedantic then I might suggest cloning out the hairs which stand out from the white background. Having said that, great fun entry well executed 8

Nice image...I would have cleaned up the white space, stray hairs and the shine on her cheeks. Also, you cut off her eyebrow.

good lighting on the face and eyes - the open mouth visible through the bubble takes away from the image a bit - but still a solid image

this shot could've been a lot more fun if there were a hand with a needle on the right and her looking at it with just her eyes. it's just a thought but it came up as soon as I saw this.

Ahhh good job, shame the top right has an odd cast to it. And I'm thinking maybe half of her face would have been a better idea? Good pic though.

Nice image...only wish the glare was not so noticable on the bubble gum.

the darkness on the edges is distracting but the overall shot is good. 6
