Well I was at a place that you might be aware of, Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake! I was there to try and get some interesting photos of the Tiger. Well the Tiger was napping and so I defaulted to doing these, I've got about 100 all in all and they all are slightly different, this one was the first good one out of Lightroom, I haven't gotten around to editing the rest yet!

Anyway, I was playing with a combination of aperture and angle (for light reflection) in these shots to give me the soft effect on the water. I found that at about 45 degrees up from the surface of the water, and at a larger aperture I got the effect I wanted. These were all shot within about 2 feet of the subject so getting the bubbles in focus at f/1.4 was hot and miss, but like I said I shout about 100 so I should have a few more cool ones.

Like I said, the softness comes from a combination of angle and bokeh, and also this is pretty smooth water (although I liked the way it sort of made it look like it was a flowing current) the colors come from the sky and the front of the tiger enclosure reflecting off the water.

I'll edit a few more this weekend and if I think they're worth seeing, I'll post them here!

Thanks for the compliments everyone, it seems as though you guys (like me) don't understand exactly why it's appealing. But I like it and I'm glad I could share it with everyone, these types of photographs don't come often for me.

I also posted this in Photo Critique (since that's what I'm seeking) but I didn't get the impression that there's too much traffic in there. If it's objectionable, the moderators can delete it or tell me and I will.
