Thank you for your critique!
These were bubbles from a dirty dishes pile in my sink last year. I had bought my new 60mm Macro about 20 minutes earlier and couldn't wait to try it out, and these were extremely tiny bubbles that seemed perfect at the time.
Amazing that so many ended up enjoying it!

I find this picture really striking and beautiful, indeed the colours fake the effect of bubbles, which resemble pebbles. Its feeling is one of utmost smoothness and the dark tones instead of glooming it, they make it stand out even more. And that is indeed a great thing.
However I must admit that I find myself a little unhappy about how the blur seems to change so suddenly. At the bottom and top is very intense while in the middle isn't really present: particularly, I think the one at the top is too much. The light specks are so detailed, while the bubbles not even visible.
Overall, it is outstanding and hits the eye; I had to stare at it for a while before noticing what actually made me slightly frown.
Congratulations on the DD and a big thumbsup from me. Originality is 4 because let's face it, bubbles are everwhere; it's not at 3 as initially wanted it to, because they really do seem pebbles and that is not so common.

Thank you for your critique!
So many people think they are pebbles at first glance. Part of the reason I had received a DD on this photograph was because of the bokeh surrounding the bubbles, and I find it interesting that someone else thought that same thing to be a distraction as opposed to a compliment to the subject!

Oh yes, I noticed how many commented on that particular fact of it. Actually, I remember seeing the picture while browsing the DDs one day and I had thought the same.
And yes, it's really interesting; to me, it would be perfect if it wasn't so intense as it is now... but it makes me smile how people may think differently, so I don't mind. It still remains a beautiful piece of art.

Unfortunately this photograph is not available for download/free use at this time. Usually backgrounds with super high contrast like this one make it difficult to choose a font that everyone can read, at least I always have a hard time with it 
I appreciate your interest though
