Too bright and yellow... but includes too many straight lines...

This was not picture of a picture.... Its a picture of my daughter as I see inside 3 glass marbles which I kept on a fork..my daughter is sitting on the other side..

I turned the final image vertical which probably was not a good decision.

Most underrated of the challenge. Nice shot. Though I agree with bobnospum on the "sideways" comment. Would have been really nice to see it vertical. Nice Job.

I like how you turned your subject into patterns and the different angle.

Thank you all for you lovely comments and votes. Its an honor to get this 5th position. I guess I got a little lucky because we were visiting Yosemite and happen to take this HDR photo. When I came back, I just had to find a username which I could use for this photo.

I have always followed all the competitions and am a big fan of this website. Love the work of a lot of the photographers and its an honor for me to get 5th position in this competition. Hopefully I can keep the momentum going and get some more of of these in this year :)
