 ...to follow

I wish the black marbles were in better shape. Most of them are quite dinged up, therefore I went shallower on DOF than I probably should have for best impact here. No time to run out and get new ones...

very fitting title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Was the arrangement of the marbles in the background intentional? I wonder if my eye would be led around the frame more if they all maintained the pattern in the foreground - nice idea.

Not a very original idea but well executed nevertheless.
I would have preferred a slight bump in saturation. on the marble.
