Thank you to everyone for their votes, comments and favourites!

One of my goals has been to get a ribbon within 50 entries and I'm glad I have achieved it.

Used soda water and a fish tank for those who asked.

Congratulations on the ribbon. The soda water was a brilliant idea, (you must have used quite a bit!) It makes the image look so fresh and lively.

Knew this would do well. I'm so glad that nobody left you any anti-water shot remarks. Didn't read all the comments though. ;\

Great capture, a well deserved finish. 'gratz

I would like to know how this is done...do you use sprite and a glass bowl? very, very vibrant
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/22/2009 06:41:24 PM
This is my favourite, I bet you win the blue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is really cool! nice job! what did you put them? sprite? or just carbonated water?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/19/2009 08:47:03 AM
Ah, bubbles. Lovely clean vibrant shot.
Border works well although it might look better about half the width you used
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/19/2009 06:20:29 AM
Nicely done and a different aspect on the normal pencil s shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/19/2009 05:57:21 AM
The composition is good, the colors are good, well exposed but it's not impact myself. There is something that I don't like regarding the details on the pencils. 7.

I like the graphic sense, color and unexpected water element. This has commercial appeal! 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/18/2009 01:27:51 AM
I really like the extra layer of bubbles. Makes this popular theme more interesting. But I think the extra wide borders stunt it. And that little black spec under the red? Why????
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 11/18/2009 01:10:57 AM
really nice idea, well done!

Way to take an ordinary subject and make it something unique. I love shots like this that can play on words and be a little different than the 'norm'! Very cool. 10
