Interesting concept. These bubbles looks like microbs through microscope.
Have you just added oil to the water?

Oil and a little bit of liquid soap to distress the big bubbles and make them smaller.

This was the setup:

Very creative. What you have there on The floor ? Light ?

By the way, what do you think to create a small guide regarding that?

The light is just my work phone with some of the default wallpapers.
I can do a guide when I get some time, sure.

Very nice!
I tried once to do it but I didn't give the effort I should.
Nice job and it was very nice of you (and helpful) to post the 'behind the scene' photo!
Very creative and I like the result a lot!

Really nice. While green is my favorite color I have to say I like the teal and red one most, bacause it seems really clean. My only criticism is that there are some particles in the picture other then bubbles. Maybe you coult try to use a petri dish at some point. They are smaller and easier to get completely clean I think. Another option could be to add more liquid to distance the bubbles even more from the glass. Still, very cool shots.
