In case any was wondering...
Dawn dish soap, red food coloring, and water mixed in a black plastic cereal bowl. Air blown through a straw created the bubbles. Two AlienBees B400 strobes in medium Octaboxes, one on either side, provided the light.

Wonderfully different and very beautiful. Makes a great abstract--I wonder if the macro impact might have been greater though if you limited the scope a little more--it's busy for a macro (but works well aesthetically anyway)..

Very busy shot, but it's different and quite a brave submission. The more I look at this the more I like it in fact. I'm not keen on the darker, gloomier colours mind, but I hope this does better than I expect and that people spend some time to look at it a little longer.

Nice pattern of bubbles - interesting colors. There doesn't seem to be a single point of interest. The border does not work for me - others will probably like it.
