I had to go in and get the camera to play. ### Specific Feedback To me this image has a feel of frozen effervescence that I find appealing with enough underlying grass to make me wonder what’s going on. How do you react to it? ### Technical Details Sony A7Rv, FE 70-200 f/4 semi-macro @ 189 mm, hand held, f/22, 1/125, iso 640. Processed in LR & PS CC. Cropped to 3884x5373. Taken at 1:00 this afternoon. * * * ### Critique Template Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas. - Vision and Purpose: - Conceptual: - Emotional Impact and Mood: - Composition: - Balance and Visual Weight: - Depth and Dimension: - Color: - Lighting: - Processing: - Technical: ---

Could be 7-Up bubbles, but that greenery looks more like bubbles rising to the surface of an aquarium. Those daisy-looking flowers at the top have me puzzled, however. I like it . Good idea. I have taken ice off a bird bath and placed it on leaves, but wasn’t satisfied with the results. ---

Dennis, your image grabbed me to explore what as going on. The repetitive bubbles with the variations holds my eye as I tried to see what was behind them. Nice job experimenting and making an eye holding image. ---

Very sharp for such a complex subject. I agree those ice “daisies” are fascinating; I wonder how they formed. I love the lowest part where the bubbles seem to be rushing upwards. I might be tempted to clone out a narrow slice of the left side as that brown leaf distracts me a bit. Very well seen and taken. ---

It’s a very interesting shot, Dennis. Out of curiosity I copied it, converted it to black and white and boosted the contrast. That works too but I think I like the bits of color coming through in the original. ---

I was attracted to this image right away. I see something different each time I look closely: beads spilled from a necklace, bubbles, and overall movement from bottom to top. I like that the large frozen bubble are mostly in the center. The image looks like it could be two images combined. Beautiful! ---

Don’t know how I missed this. It caught my eye now. It really does fizz. I have no idea what is behind the bubbles, very mysterious. This is so crisp and clear and well composed. How did you get the bubbles to cooperate like that? 😉 ---

Thanks, Chris. That’s how they grow when the birdbath freezes. I haven’t figured out why, but i think its cool and like to use it in photographs. The stuff under it is just mashed down unkempt grass.
