Nice lighting which is what this challenge is all about. I'm sure you'll get some comments about the blue balls in the background but I like the amount of OOF, where I think it could be improved would be to crop tight to the first ball thus eliminating the somewhat distracting foreground branch, just my thoughts, good luck

Nice idea and good effort, unfortunately the reflections havent quite worked as well as you might have hoped, but top marks for creativity and originality

Very delicately done, I think it would have been better still with a shallower DOF to throw the background into less distracting backdrop

Good idea and capture, unfortunately I think those hands have become exagerrated and do not look as though they belong to a child. I do love the way it all blends into that black background - good luck
