would be great if I couldn't see you and your camera in the reflection! ;0)

It would be nice, but I don't like the camera reflection.

a blue christmas. the composition is fantastic, and the colors are very interesting, but the ball could use a little definition: something that sets it out from the background, like a difference of colors, some contrast modification, or something. it's the only thing that hurts this otherwise great image. 8

Good shot. Too bad I can see your reflection in the Ball. This must have been the Corporate Christmas Party

I think I'd prefer a crop that includes the whole bulb. Also, it looks like you had a slow shutter speed from the handhelp shot, a tripod may have helped take care of the blurriness at the top of the bulb. Otherwise a nice shot, good interpretation of "blue"

Your reflection really, really, really, detracts.

The ball has great reflective properties, but you didn't get all of it and what you got is out of focus. Details. PTL 3

Slightly too dark and your the reflection of you and the camera is visible in the ball.

Nice shot. Looks like a Hotel Conference Room. (I see your camera!) The ornament is a bit dark for this (the reflection is so very dark), but still I like it.

Very nice!

just my opinion only... i'm not keen on the camera reflection. Perhaps disguising the camera inside a xmas package???.I do like the close cropping though. A good effort...6 bullwinkle

This would have been a great capture it your reflection wasn't so dominant.

Great idea. Is this a self portrait :) Jacko

Looks very grainy. I like the reflection... and excellent choice not to use a flash. Also good composition.

The reflections in the ornament take a bit away from this shot - but it is nicely framed and a good idea.

Nice concept for a Christmas tree ball, but it would have been better with less reflection in the ball and most of all, without the photographer.

Bit too dark and reflection of photgrapher is too obvious.
