The draw of Sokolsky's photos for me is not only the fantastic quality, but the almost subdued way in which the supporting subjects react to the primary focus. The bubble on the water has a delicate quality to it that almost lures the viewer into not being shocked into the gigantic glass bubble containing a cute French Girl. The same goes for the bubble floating over the two garรงons. The way that they are looking at her in wonder but very calm wonder and the way that she seems almost to be disconnected from her surroundings (most likely due to the large bubble she's floating in). Then the photo of the girl flying above the suits and ties is great. Doesn't everyone get that feeling at those events? To just do something crazy? Preferably fly above everyone and cackle about things in French? Great touches are the table filled with people ignoring her (those snooty French) and then the people in the back looking at her with these looks of "Ah, c'est fantastique!" but a very tranquil "c'est fantastique."
