I love this piece of work by Fabian Oefner because of its marriage between art and science. He has captured the fascinating creation and disintegration of bubbles in such a beautiful way. I absolutely love the way the colors turned out in his pictures as well. We are able to see this phenomenon through his pictures that happen to fast to be able to see with our naked eye in real-time. He set up an array of lights and reflectors around a machine shooting off bubbles to be able to capture the usually transparent ephemeral object. It took him many shots and a lot of practice to capture these seemingly perfect images.

First prize. I like this image because of its colors, and the way bubbles were captured. So good to look at.
Third Prize. Amazing display of fluids and art, it almost doesn’t seem real. I really enjoy the complexity of all the different interacting colors.
Third place. The artist was able to capture a beautiful image with the motion of the bubble being popped and the colors were vibrant. I loved the motion of the colors on the surface of the bubble as well!
Third Place. I love the colors of the bubble and the ability to capture the bubble right as it pops, which is something we don’t normally get to see with our own eyes.
Third place. The motion is captivating and the colors are so vivid.
Third Place. I completely agree with your caption as the colors were what originally captured my eye from the thumbnail. Bubbles are surprisingly complex and watching them pop in slow motion is always a treat.
