edit: Like the new entry without reservation!

[original post: The composition and use of the gradient in the background are great. The harshness of the highlight shapes isn't attractive to me, at least in this size. Overall a fine image. Good luck!]

It certainly is a fascinating shot, Jim, my friend! How did you manage that? I wonder what it looks like in color. Well done, as always.

Fond regards,

Endre

I'm with Endre. I think it's a very nice pic and also think it may look better in colour.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Hi James,

I really like this second shot. The colors and the reflections and the moment you caught are fantastic. Really nice capture.

Best wishes,

Steve S.

Wow!

What a great shot. Wonderful light and color and shapes.
How in the world did you get that bubble on top? Is it a composite?
Please enlighten me.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Trubble was too cropped to leave much resolution, and then I gave it a bit too much in the contrast department. This is a straight capture, and a minor crop. Two softboxes, and a 40 degree grid shooting through a gel + barn doors. This is not a composite. The bubble just happened to separate itself from the heap - I don't know why, but it is why I liked this shot.
