Challenge: Rule of Thirds (Basic Editing III)

Aperture: f/16
ISO: 200

 A simple composition for the rule of thirds. I used the hue/saturation adjustment layer to desaturate the green and blue channels, so that the orange ball would stand out even more against the green balls surrounding it. I didn't have all the time in the world like others to specifically place each ball so that the lines coordinated, so I hope I don't get voted down too low for that.

Perfect subject and application of the challenge.
Very well done overall. DOF is perfect, and the title is catchy.
Only criticism is that the highly reflective surfaces reflect too much of the flash, and I think I can make out the photographer. Try some diffusion next time, bouncing the flash off a card or a similar technique.
