Beautiful! Are those the natural iridescent colors? or did you dye the water a little?

I dropped food coloring onto the top of the bubble pile and as it trickled down I took the shot.

Great shot though I don't seem to understand why you chose to put the photo so big in the full view, other than that, awesome.

"...though I don't seem to understand why you chose to put the photo so big in the full view..."

Because most people complain when the images are too small Some people like to use my work as their wallpaper, so I set it large.

Well that's true also, though they could just press the "download" button to get a larger image and then put it as an wallpaper..? Anyways, nice

dalantech In reply to Yarw [2009-12-12 21:29:00 +0000 UTC]

The download button allows for downloading the original sized image, and that's something that I do not want anyone to be able to do (I upload my original, uncropped, 10MP images). I have enough problems with image theft as it is...
