Once again, nothing to enter until close to last minute. My son recieved this as a birthday gift, and I thought it to be zen. I think the star will probably cause it to score low, but that is ok. I really had nothing else to enter. These rocks are magnets. I balanced them using a cookie sheet, and a white piece of 8.5x11 paper for the background. I then white balanced in Raw Shooter, and adjusted the contrast in PS 7. I mostly added the star because I didn't want my ugly mug in the globe.

Thanks for the kindness. I thought it might get a 6. Tough crowd.

I love the positioning of the stones but IMHO the star at the top is quite distracting, for simplicity I would have just had the stones against the white B/G. 8

sorry but I feel very uneasy with this photo, keep waiting on it falling down, dose not relax me at all, but that is only my opinion

reflection on the ball is quite distracting

I like the concept, however, it appears to be a bit 'blurred' togehter, not enough definition in each of the stones...
