Bubble and Droplet.

wonderful water droplets!

Fascinating bokeh behind all these in-focus droplets. It's not pure bokeh, but the large image shows the "circles of confusion" and it does make the in-focus image elements pop out, including all the droplets.

A boy blowing bubbles in the fountain.

Frankenmuth Michigan.

Looks great in the larger sizes.

you did such a great job with this! the droplets look almost like glass beads and while the boy is a statue, i feel like he has so much personality and character.

Score 9/10 (from the Score Me! group)

Original photo. Great use of shutter speed to freeze the water droplets in the air.

Viewmaker says:

I don't know....I want to go with the 9.5. It's tough to go with a 9 or a 10...and I hate doing decimals. Oh, what the heck Score 10/10 (from the Score Me! group) if only because I visited Frankenmuth as a kid a few times and loved the glockenspiel at the Bavarian Inn. This, however, is new (to me). Where is it?

Oh, yeah, back to the reasons for the score: Great detail on the drops without losing focus on the boy. And -- what puts you over the top -- you've got this bokeh going on (at least I think so) between the drops. That's pretty rad. Consider submitting this to the Urban Fragments and Bokeh groups. Good work and thanks!

wow...i love the fact that the water drops are very very crisp... super cool... ;)

however, i wish to see the other hand... ;) somehow, the blue background is a bit distracting...

anyway, very interesting shot, G0DA! ;)

Goldmanoz says:

lovely sharp well focussed shot, work very well.. water droplets caught in mid flight always seem to please....seems this is no exception....:)
i kinda wish the statue was facing to the right instead of the left, would balance the image better for me, looking into the open space.. but thats not your fault hey...:^)

tuxcomputers says:

I like how this is taken, you used a very fast shuuter speed to freeze the dynamic flowing water just like the statue has been frozen. The main subject is sharp while the background is just blurred enough to allow you to see what is happening yet is not distracting.

Ummm can't think of anything that would improve it.

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 7/7 ranking.

The idea is very creative, and technically the shot is quite good. I like the overall effect of this picture. If anything were to be improve, I'd lighten the picture just so slightly.
