Something about this makes me uneasy... like I have to be ready to catch the marbles as they roll away! But.. I think that's what makes me keep coming back to look at it. Well done!

Really like the marbles and the glow. Not usually a fan of big tilts, but it really works here. 9

The angle makes this shot. Great work.

Comment by vikas:
Nice composition and setup.

I would have personally prefered the shot (and hence rated it higher) if the candle was more in focus

Interesting concept. I'm not sure I care for the angle of this shot.

6 - Met the Challenge quite well in my opinion - "Use candlelight to create the impact of your photo.". Criticism; don't mind the rotation (your call obviously), but given the composition, includiing reflections/refractions, I wonder if a more 'symmetrical' and horizontal/vertical framing would have worked better. Good use of marbles, like to see a little more detail in them (candlelight effect mostly), including the reflections/refractions on the 'surface/base', 'using' them even more. The choice of a glossy 'wood grain' base 'works' but wonder if a more 'neutral', or just less glossy surface may have been better - but then you may have lost some of those effects so who knows. A little grainy in the top areas. Overall if the candle were more subtle (difficult I know) and the 'effect(s)' more dominant, would have made this better in my opinion.

This entry was seriously underrated IMO. I expected a top 10. Maybe shooting from an angle rather than overhead (to show more of the road) would have made the difference.

Thought I must have had 1 too many / slope is good.
