fantastic, we do have some very talented people here. How many shots did you take to get this one.

If I said only a few I would be lying....

Very cool shot. How did you do it?

You blow a bubble on a tray of water using a drinking straw and some soap, then drop two drips of water onto the top of it. The bubbles can withstand a few drips usually , the hardest part is getting them close to centre frame.

Great... thanks for the info

Wow! 2nd!
Thanks for all the votes everyone

Wow

wow, how many attempts did that take.

A fantastic creation,it takes a lot of time and patience to get the right shots.

such a nice plate of splash at the top..!

Love the reflection too

Amazing capture =)

Thanks for the nice comments all, these shots are a little obsession of mine.

I think you're right about the background. It would be nnice to have something cool in the refraction - but this is an awesome shot! I love it!

well done

I guess the retry will have to wait for next summer, not many dandelion clocks around this time of year

Thank you all for the votes, I had 3 entries and this was the one I thought would do least well, 4th is a BIG surprise.
Definitely going to be more creative with my background when I try this again in the summer.

Very cool. Looks like a carnival ride

Nice pic!

Nice work

Wonderful job

What great timing. Its like a mini explosion.

Thanks for all the nice comments, its one of my favourite shots and I have an A2 print of this hanging in the house.

Almost worth putting a clear coat or 2 on it, For a prop.

I really laughed out loud!
Thanks for the description as to how you shot it. I like that effect.

One can create a great composition with simple objects,well done !

Thanks for the comments, it took several test shots to get it right, but it is one of my favourite still life shots.

Love the title lol

I like this very much. The reflection helps a lot

The reflection is key to this shot I think...... its amazing how easy it is to get a bit of glass dirty, and so simple to get it in a shot.
