I like the lighting, you say this was all window light?
Yes. A large window a couple of feet behind the bowl.

If your photo lacks interest, you aren't close enough.

I am so intrigued by the soap bubble photos, what magical wonder right before our eyes. Thank you for bringing the wonder into focus for us!

It is not unusual to see highly similar shapes and forms in nature in subjects of very different sizes and types. (Like the way I "see" layered mountain ridge-lines when I photograph mushroom gills under the microscope).
While I was taking these I had a strong déjà vu experience. They appear so similar to the alga hydrodictyon that I photographed way back in 2004 (Google "hydrodictyon" and check out additional images to see an amazing similarity with these bubbles):

(This was actually one of the very first microscope shots I took and posted here in July 2004. Mediocre 40X objective, Canon 10D, and a complete digital novice).

That's Nature's efficient and elegant 'code' on display.
