The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Another floating bubble. With the bubble’s reflection, this and several similar views struck me as looking like flying saucers…Then, of course, being able to clearly see the alien operator enhanced the fun.

Specific Feedback

I like the clarity of my reflection and the textures in the water due to wave action.

Technical Details

R5, 100-500 @ 500, 1/800 s, f/10, iso 3200, tripod.

Mark, I like this one better than your last bubble one which was also top notch.

Mark: In medical parlance, this is 4+ awesome! Stunning capture and I’m impressed that the environment inside the saucer is stable enough to support the pilot without him having to wear a spacesuit. I want one of these. :wink:. Spectacular shot. >=))>

Awesome, Mark!!! I love the nice smooth ripples of the water and the bubble with the reflections is just wonderful. No nits here.

Oh Mark, this is really nice. I too love seeing your reflection in the “saucer”. Very clear and sharp.

That is just flat-out fun. Beautifully in focus, killer composition, colors are fantastic, and being able to see that tiny whatever-it-is in the center is just chef’s kiss. 5 :star:s, no notes.

I like everything about this one! The bubble is perfect as well as the self portrait. The detail around the bubble, with the smaller bubbles around the edge and the orange reflecting around the edge is all great. And then the nice softness in the water ripples to contrast with the sharpness of the bubble. The composition is spot on as well. Nicely done!

Mark,

I first saw this photo while on my phone and I really could not tell what the “alien” pilot was, but oh man, you are the alien! I love it.

Beautiful capture of time in this split second. I love the details and structure inside the bubble
