Sparkling Pond Bubbles

As I passed by one of the ponds at the Houston Arboretum, I saw this beautiful set of bubbles collected around this leaf. All the colors are natural...they are reflections.. All I did was blacken out the small pond debris

Interesting effect, the way the surface tension curves the surface of the water.

Lucy: I wondered where this was. I was commenting on it earlier today but it disappeared. This is really well seen and reminiscent of some of Mike Moats' work with leaves in swamp oil. Well done.>=))>

This is a great find! Well balanced and artistic! My only nit is probably related to your photoshop to darken the water...it seems to have feathered onto the leaf edges giving them a grey-smoky tint...unnatural. A solid photo with much to enjoy. Ken S
