Great concept. I have huge admiration for your originality. The composition is good, but might have been better still if the chrome ball was totally in the top left corner. Nonetheless this is easily one of my top scoring images in this challenge - good luck.

Wow factor/uniqueness=2
Attractiveness=1

It took me a minute to realize that you desaturated all the blue to get the sky like that...very cool. I do wonder if the entire image would look as good b/w like that. My first impression was also wishing you had stood back some and used a telephoto to minimize your presence in the ball but the more I look at it the more I like it this way. I really feels like your title states, it just washed ashore and you are investigating it. Give a kind of alien feel to it. Very nicely done.
