    Looks like you're living in a bubble! With a huge lens and short legs :D.

    Original concept. Why did you go for B&W, I would have thought that the colors in a bubble would be a subject themselves? I think a bit more contrast could be a positive impact for this picture, non?

    I didn't have but a couple of minutes to pt it together so I did the quick adjustment and because of the overcast day it lended itself to a quick B&W. Yes there are some colors in the bubble. I'll repost with some additional PP. Thanks for your feedback.

    Cool. Whatever is behind your head is a little distracting.

    Thanks Josh, my son and I are actually on top of the play set and that bar is the support beam for the middle of the canopy goes after winter. I'm going to post the colored version in a little while.

    Thanks Josh. It's actually not that large, perhaps the size of a Grade A egg.

    Amazing! I was thinking it was ~12-18" diameter. I wonder if they have a filter or soemthing that does this all the time...

    Thanks. Nope it was quite small, the hole next to it is for a bolt in the play set that I believe was a 1/2". I want to try this shot again on a clear day so that the sky shows up really well. My son had blown a series of bubbles and between dodging the bubble soap with my lens, (for some reason my son thought it was hilarious to try and blow the soap on my glass), and the wind, I was happy to get this unplanned surprise.
