hey borntoshop! Again, I am here to review your stunning photos. (I think I am going to follow you to catch up with your work.) :D
When I saw the word bubbles in your title, I jumped to check out your photos. I love bubbles! <3 The 4th photograph would be my favourite for sure. I like your background choice. The colored bubbles make it simply beautiful.
The 1sth photograph, however, gives a more sophisticated view. What I don't like about it that overall the picture looks pale - colored. Maybe that's because of the cloudy background. I wished that I could see the rainbow going through the bubbles but again it is unclear and looks pale unlike the 4th one.
As for the 2nd photograph, I wouldn't know that it was snowing unless you've mentioned it first. Try to show more of the white on the mountains.
The 3rd photograph is super cool. I like the wired-looking sky and the sea. The variety in the line thickness as well as the strange looking building all make the picture seem perfect!

I am sorry about reviewing the photograph in such a messy, unordered way. You're a talented photographer, great job!

Oh wow! I like your photography skills (:
Its cool how you made simple everyday things like bubbles and that building turn into beautiful things all captured into one simple photo.
Good job!

Hey borntoshop :)

#1 - I think this is probably my second favourite photo. I like the light and the shine on the bubbles and how you can see the sky behind. Close up photos aren't really my fortay so I don't have too much to say about this. Plus the fact that it's a pretty good photo anyway!

#2 - I like how this photo is kind of long and thin and you can see the stretch of the mountain tops and all the snow. It kind of gives a sense of the scale of the mountains. My nit pick here is that the snow on the mountain tops is the same colour as the sky and so they kind of blend together and it would be better if the snow was a little whiter and stood out from the background then I think it would give this photo a much better quality. So maybe you could investigate doing this in some sort of photo editing software.

#3 - This is a pretty good photo but you know what would've made it even more amazing? If you had tilted the camera to portrait rather than landscape. Then you could've gotten the top of that post in and a lot more of the sky and compositionally I think it would've worked a lot better. Don't be afraid to switch up the angles you use and how you take photos. Not everything has to be centred or not everything has to be photographed dead on, etc.

#4 - This is my favourite photo. I love the use of light, colour and focus. I really like how the back bubble is out of focus and the front bubble is in focus. I think it just works really well.

Good job! Keep it up!

Hello borntoshop,

I have to say I liked these photos a lot and they were all very high quality and they were all very interesting, unique and different from one another. I also like how the colors range from dark to light in all of your different photos. i also like the creativity and thought that you have put into the see stunning pictures of really stunning things (minus the bubbles, although they are beautiful!) I also like the simple yet effective style that you have of taking pictures. Now I have a few points.

The first picture was in my opinion the best one out of all of them, it was bright and the sky showed up really nicely and the main focus of the picture was easy to see and obvious which I think added to the quality of it. There is only one flaw that I could find with this. Look around the very edge of the photo, on the several of the corners and most of the left edge there is a wavy black line. An easy way to get rid of this would be to crop it, it would truly look so much better without that there. Apart from that little nit pick this was really good.

I looked at the second picture and smiled because it's been snowing for me as well, I'm taking a guess that we both live in the same country, New Zealand? I may be wrong could you let me know if I'm right or wrong, thanks! Anyway on with the actual photo, so i thought this was really good and I agree with what bechiw said
I like how this photo is kind of long and thin and you can see the stretch of the mountain tops and all the snow.
There is a couple of improvements you can make with this though, you need to re size this and make it larger and next time you take a picture like this, try and make it a bit clearer.

The third photo was also good and I don't really have much to say about this one except, you need to work on the angle. the angle wasn't to bad but it would be much better without that lean. Try either, using a tripod or find a photo editing site with a straightening feature. Apart from that small nit pick I was quite impressed by this photo.

Lastly, more bubbles! pretty much every person that has reviewed this has said this was either their favorite or it was very good and I agree with them, this was without doubt and excellent photo, the next step would be to work on the background, because the bubbles would stand out more if the background was a different color and the color that you have chosen is quite dull anyway. Overall this was really good photo.

These were really good photos and I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Like livurdestiny said
I really like the pictures and I don't know what else to say but keep up the good work.
I honestly think she stole my words before I had a chance to type them, they are so true! If you want another review then PM me and I will write you one, these are excellent photos!

#1: A bubble? Not just a bubble. It's a super bubble! I really like how you blurred out the background to emphasize the bubbles. Also, I enjoy looking at each little rainbow within them. It's beautiful.

#2: Wow.. So that's where you live? Wow.. I don't really know what to say. I just wish that the picture was brighter. Other than that, it's a very nice photo you've taken.

#3: That's a pretty good picture as well, but I feel that it's missing the sun.. like we should be looking at a sunset here.. without that, it feels empty. I like it though.

#4: More bubbles! As you said. They're magnificent. They're so round and perfect.. And you captured them here, for all of us to see. Thank you.

Overall: I loved each picture here. Thoroughly. Congratulations on taking such great pictures.

Hi. First of all what I loved the most was the fourth pic. The color dark maroonish red. It looks so magical. In the third pic, the clouds do seem a little angry but it's a beautiful sight anyway. The second one is nicely taken. The mountains look prominent here. And finally the first picture. I can see tiny rainbows in them. And the background clouds suit it. It seems as if it would rain any second. :)

Nice work. :)

hey borntobe!
I was pulled in by the promise of bubbles, and you didn't dissapoint!
I love your use of focus in the first picture especially; the light seems to reflect off the surface beautifully and I love the colours in the background.
The middle two didn't really do it for me, but I did like the idea of the clouds being angry. They were good photos, just quite ordinary.
I really liked the last one though, and I don't really know what to say about it. It was pretty!
Thanks for sharing these

Hi Borntoshop it's apple here,

I was also drawn in by the word bubbles :)

I love the last photo because of the way the coloured bubbles contrasted with the dark background. Pretty bubbles!

Hi Borntoshop!
These are some great shots! I love them all, but my favourite by far is the last one.

each photo

#1. I loved what you did with the focus on this! It's beautiful. I love the lovely shape of the bubbles and the shapes of the clouds. It'd be flawless if it weren't for the black bits around the edge!

#2. Although there isn't a focal point or anything, I think it worked in this photo because it was all horizontal. I think you wanted to take a photo of the mountains and wanted us to focus on that, which we (well at least I did) did. It's a gorgeous shot, I love the colour of the sky. The mountains remind me of the packaging on a Toblerone bar! :D

#3. You're right, the sky was really strange. I loved it though. I think that photo had a lot of potential! I didn't really know where to look on that though. I know that it might've been the house, but I couldn't see what I was looking at. It was a little bit dark... Sometimes though, that's a good thing. I'm not sure if you meant for it to be dark, but since you were talking about the clouds at first, it confused me. It's still a pretty photo!

#4. I love the colours on it that glisten. The bubble closer to the camera has a bit in the corner that looks like one of those photos of the sun rising over the earth! It was faultless. It's a strange thing (well for me, I take photos of flowers and peacocks if they're outside) to take a photo of, but it's beautiful! :)

Overall
Overall, these shots are really good! I'd love to see more of this style! :) Well done!

Keep snappin'! ;)

Hey borntoshop! ;')

Amazing photographs you have here! :D A Job Well Done.
It's lovely taken <3

Now, let me tell you what I think about these photos:

#1: Big Bubble

LOVED IT! The bubble wrapping up the branch is a lot of creativity of photography. It's something a photographer should need! XD And I think you really did pick it up well! ^^

#2: It's been snowing! :O Lots and lots of SNOOOW! This isn't my best photo of it, but it's one of them.

I've seen many photo's come up like this and I think it should have been much clear so you could see the color of the snow and how it occupies the space of the mountain :) Not one of you're best but yes, this was alright I can say =)

#3: This was a really weird day, and the clouds looked angry for most of it.

The clouds DID look angry but I thought it was real real simple :S But I like it in some sort of way. I don't know why. Hehe xP But loved the way the clouds were spreaded over the sky and a little blue seen there. Now that's what I call photography ;)

#4: And, last, but not least. More bubbles! :D

The bubble's color and the different colors formed is perfectly taken! x]]
A small and big one. Loved the shape and... and... I don't know!
I JUST LOVED IT! <3<3<3

Definitely giving this a 10/10! :O
Happy Person I am!
You made my day! ^^

Love and Regards,
