Bubble Fantasy


It was on last Christmas day that my whole family went for a trip to Kodaiknal. It was an awesome trip.  Almost all my cousins were there. This ammu in the picture. We were getting down at the pine forests. A road side vendor was marketing his bubble maker kit by blowing bubbles at the tourists. It was then that this picture happened, as I have told you earlier, a moment that happened to end up in the camera. To give the picture a little more dramatic effect I edited it quite a bit. First I removed the color from the picture, except for the bubbles. Then I blurred out everything other than ammu and the bubbles. All the bubbles are above her hand level, which makes it look like she is juggling them! I cropped the image to get a tighter composition making ammu and the bubbles the centre of attraction. In all it took me almost 90 minutes to get the final image. I tried different ways of editing the picture. Somehow this seems to be the most suitable of the lot. Thus you have “Bubble Fantasy”.
I’m posting the original snap as well. So, you tell me how good is this?
