 It is funny how things come about I was actually after something different with this shot and then my 3 year old boy came up with a glass ball and said "Use this Daddy" so of course i did and it came out great.
Single painters light with a fill card and some gobos. Very tight shot and fun to shoot.
shot in raw levels, curves,

Wow, is there really only one light source here? Very nicely done.

This photo is well-conceived. I might have liked a tad less blurring of the background, although I can understand why you chose to shoot it as it is. One of my favorite shots in this challenge.

Very creative use of a background to draw out the prominence of the crystal.

Nice golden tones, composition, and DOF, but wish the ball had fewer but larger bubbles.

That's totally gorgeous. The light doesn't look very directional, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, considering the mirrors, and score this one a 9. VERY cool-looking, excellently focused.
