Sometimes the planets align nicely, Eva.  Love these frozen bubbles and the galaxy that spun them off.

Love your ice galaxy, Eva!  It really does look like it was shot through a telescope rather than a macro lens! Very appropriate title also.

Yes, Eva, definitely an interstellar look with the galaxies/planets against a background of stars.  The difference in texture of the two bubbles on the right adds some fine extra interest.

Intergalactic.  Anyway that was my first thought when I looked at this.   I also see snails and sand dollars in it.  Funny, I just read the other comments and it appears that everyone agrees.  A very nicely done abstract.

Amazing vision to make this composition, Eva!  Finding a way to put the largest bubbles around the edges gave this the appearance of gazing into space with heavenly bodies receding into the distance for light-years.

This is truly galactic Eva. Way to see these frozen bubbles and nice capture. I really like the B&W treatment.
