My 3rd attempt to get a shot of patterns a soap bubble creates. 2nd time around I posted a shot for the Abstract Macro challenge, a shot which I really like, but fought hard to get proper focus and DOF.
The pattern was there so I got inspired to shoot a few hours before the challeng ended and submitted within 5min of closing time. I tweaked the setup for 40min before taking a single shot and was really excited with the results so I edited the first image I thought best and went to shoot some more. Suffice to say I see some of my latter attempts had better patterns but this one has amazing colors. I'll work on the outtakes I didn't get to editing before and post them soon. I'm sure if I had more time I would've looked through all the shots closer and found one with better patterns with good enough colors. They all have amazing colors though. As you'll see soon yourselves :)
This one was very slightly cropped. I'd say this is a 90-95% crop. There's still room for improvement here so it's something I want to try again. Also wish this was an advanced challenge, selective sharpening is what I wanted to do here.

Thanks for everyone's comments and faves :)
Still checking out my outtakes...

Very abstract pattern. The black bars at the top and bottom seem to add geometric finality to the shot. Since it is so abstract, I would love to see this without the edges or border or whatever that is. Let my imagination fill in the infinite with this one.
Excellent color abstractish thingie. Fun to find things in, too. There are all sorts of critters, a few odd ghosts and aliens, a small fire... lots of fun.
Great colors with a cool graffiti sort of feel. The colors are balanced well with the blacks & grays up top - would have been too much without them. Back to bump you up to 8.
it pains me to view how good this photo is :-) I tried to do the same thing but failed miserably (didn't even enter the challenge it was so poor). Nice to see how my shot would have come out if I had a some talent. Adding to favs, this is a very strong shot. not sure if the DPC crowd will share my enthusiasm for this shot since the pattern is not perfectly repeated.
