This is one of the first (well, first worthy of showing) macros I've taken- I got a 60mm Nikon lens for Christmas Smile Tell me what you think!

Nice shot, the colour enhances it for me.
The bubbles are nicely Sharpe to as i suspect they were moving at the time.
Did you manage it in 1 shot or did it take a few?

Remarkable shot, like Mike I'd be interested to know how you did it.

thanks everyone!

as for how I did it, the bubbles actually weren't moving; I sat down at the table one day and bubbles had formed on the side of a pitcher of water that was in front of me, so I grabbed a blue folder that was nearby(ok, actually, there was my 8 year old sister's homework in it) and took a few shots. It wasn't that blue; I did saturate it in photoshop and got rid of some cracks in the pitcher(the cracks are intentional, I guess, they're in between the plastic).
Here's a picture of the setup-nothing fancy at all; I was just using the light above the pitcher and the popup flash on my D50. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v666/orientaldragon/DSC_0675.jpg

Thanks for sharing the set up, always good to see how other people work out a shot.
