Yeah, I'm using the same concept in two concurrent challenges. Sue me. ;)

I printed out a tiny pic of Steve and then taped it to the globe. Ingenious, I know. Worthy of the 4.97 I expect, for certain!

I must admit I would have voted this shot higher had you not opted to use selective desat, somehow it just puts me off this particular image. Not really digging the blurring effect on the backround, seems wrong somehow to me, I assume you added it in post processing? Gave a 5, neither good or bad for me.

Like this image. The soft background frames the hand and crystal ball nicely. Very creative. Reminds me of an M.C. Escher self portrait.
This image is particularly meaningful to me. It metaphorically represents family and friends reaching out to help protect me while I was lost. I like butterfy photography a lot to. - Steve

First off, cool crystal ball! I really like the desaturation and think you selected a very good DOF to help blur out that background. The placement of Steve in the shot is subtle and suits the challenge well. Being that he is a nature photographer and the point of the challenge is to try and track him down, I think this photo meets the challenge perfectly. Well done. :)
