 I sense I have been taking too many risks lately and so I really tried to hit the mainstream on this challenge. I took about 200 other types of shots, all in my make-shift basement studio, of some whacky reflective stuff. At the end, I switched to a lake and one of the truly glorious sunrises we have had lately. Then, at the 11th hour, some friends convinced me to go with and stay with what it is that appeals to me for that is whom I am doing this for anyway. So, I switched back from the landscape and water shot to this - one more risk I guess.

This was shot on a light table with that being the only light used. The balls are marbles from a craft store and what looks like ice cubes are glass cubes from the same craft store. An old black curtain is haning in the back.

interesting and creative shot. wish the image were allowed to be shown larger so that the viewer could really get in and see all the detail on those reflections.

looks like a test render for some 3d modeller. Not sure why, but I really like this.

The reflection draws less attention for me then the setting around it. More focus on the reflection would make this an excellent photograph for me.
