Lit from the bottom with a Force 10 under a transparent table.

I pumped up the lights until it blew out table and without blowing out the heads.

Nice combination of rough and smooth textures.

very interesting! A crop from the bottom woudl compose this better imho, as not keen on the think white line.

Despite your title, I haven't a clue what it is. Certainly an interesting shot though.

great contrast in texture, good reflection control, nice composition.

Good contrast between rough and smooth. Maybe too much pure white space (ornegative space?) in the wrong place - needs something to anchor the upper left corner.

Weird subject, strangely compelling. Extra points for originality and composition.

Are you sure this isn't a hitch for a truck? nice juxtaposition of textures.

200% depends on the screen resolution with which i'm looking at it, actually. excellent composition, good detailing, high-key lighting very well done, though the reflections in the ball of the rear-most joint don't maintain the cleanness of the rest of the image. Good texture too.

I wish the focus was a little more sharp on the metalic balls, but the rest is very nice. Great black and white with a smooth, cold feel to the texture.

Very nice.. Maby if you could have made it just a bit darker between the balls so the shape would be better on the photo u would have got 1 more point from me.

texture? huh

Nice sharp focus on the front subject. I also like the slightly shallow DOF for the back subject. The nice clean reflections on the balls are very nice too.
