Hello from the Critique Club!

You have a wonderful idea here for the Shapes challenge!! It's creative and well composed! The shot looks to be in focus well, with good detail. The only thing hurting you here is the lack of light. The black background works very well for this shot, making the color of the balls stand out. I'm not sure if this shot was set up on a piece of black cloth, or if the black comes from the room being dark....but my suggestion would be to obtain some black cloth for these shots! Lots of people have had great success with velvet, I believe. If your object is on a black cloth, then you can feel free to use as much light as you like to make it visible to the viewers. It's obvious that you have a good vision for this shot and the eye to set it up for what you want!

pretty dark but it does make you take a closer look

This is a nice composition, but it is way too underexposed, therefore hard to see what is going on.

too dark to see most of the spherical shapes here. Very good concept though.

I love the idea of different spheres (I almost tried it myself) but this shot was a little dark for me.

I think this would serve you better if the lighting were better. It kind of gets lost in the dark as it is.

It looks too dark, maybe could have added lighting on the right or from the top
