So um..does this mean you are on the frontpage twice for the same challenge since the 2nd place image was a recreation of one of yours? :)

Thank you for sharing this fantastic image and congrats on the ribbon.

Congrats on a) your personal best b) getting your first 6+ image. You did it far quicker than I did which brings me to my next point: I am a little jealous. =) Congratulations again!

I am going to say this does meet the challenge. Other may not as the sphere shape is now um...a blob. Still, I think one of the problems with using a globe in this challenge is making it stand out and squishing it does that.

Just to throw an idea out here. I think one of the defining features of a sphere is its ability to roll or at least be shaped like it could roll. Strangely I would call these balloon shaped rather than spherical. I know that would be a terrible way of describing the shape of a balloon but I hope you understand what I mean.

Probably not voting on this one but that's my 2 bits anyways

lol...I wanted to get a kaleidoscope for some fun shots. I never thought of using it for this challenge though.

Congrats on the ribbon! Great exposure, perfectly sharp where it needs to be and processed just right. Well done!

Looking forward to seeing how you got the selective coloring using basic editing as I am quite curious. Congratulations on the ribbon!
