bubble are always a fun target of mine. My daughters a still in the bubble stage, so I get endless bubble ideas come spring and summer.

I like the top photo most, it really does look like a planet from a science-fiction movie Great shots

I just rotated, cropped it and put in on a different background.

I love taking photos of bubbles...Great thread!
Tip, the way to long lasting bubbles is adding glycerin to the mix.
