bubbles c&c

Do you like these? I like #1 dh likes #2. I sort of feel that #2 has too much going on and the bright spots throw me off. What are your thoughts?

I prefer #2 because more of the image is in focus, but in both I find the backgrounds just too dark and that makes them distracting to me.

^^ That! ^^

Both of them need to be focused more and deeper, looks pretty low Rez also

I like them; the bright bokeh in the bottom right corner of the second image is a bit distracting

Okay thank you! I darkened the background so I will go back and undo that. My thoughts were that adding contrast to the background would make the bubbles pop more...perhaps I was wrong in that.

Meh. I've shot bubble photos before myself but I never really liked them. I think what I'd like to achieve is some sort of macro bubble shot that has crisp focus and interesting colors without a lot of background, etc, but in the end, I have found it is nearly impossible to nail the focus and I just don't achieve what I started out wanting to achieve, so I eventually gave up and moved on to other subjects.

yeah that is kind of where I am too. That is why I liked the first, because it is just one bubble. It is DANG hard to nail focus on a bubble haha. I took these for fun while the kiddos where out playing. I don't love them, and I think it is for the very reason you suggested. Thanks for your input!
