The red sky is good, reminds me of blood red skies you seen in horror movies. Unfortunately, probably due to the low light, the silhouettes are blurry and as such the overal effect is somewhat lost. It still remains a spooky quality to it.

What a red sky! Kinda spooky! The clarity or sharpness is really wanting in this shot, just too fuzzy for my personal taste but the balance between the ground and sky is close to perfect for me. A 5 to start

Great sky colors. I like the lighting and shadow effect. You might want to sharpen in photoshop it looks a little out of focus. 5.

Composition - I think your idea is good. I would've like to have seen the back 2 marble a little more on an even horizon (for lack of a better word). The framing of the image makes me uncomfortable (again for lack of a better word) in that I don't feel that its balanced. Of course the front marble is the big focus point, so it should be closer and nicely focused, just maybe not quite so close and/or the back marbles could've been just a little closer. I think it would have been just as effective if they were a little more in focus.

Technical - I think you pretty much have it. Very very well taken.

Overall - The personification of marbles is a little difficult to deal with and stir any strong emotions in people to compel them to give you a great score. I think everyone who voted probably was capable of seeing what the point of this photo was. It just doesn't translate well from people to glass. There is one thought I had about the lighting in this photo, not to say that it's done poorly by any means. But that was to shorten the exposure somewhat and adding a little light to the 2 marbles only, to give a little more lighting induced mood. That might be completely preposterous, but it's just a thought I figured I could wing it out here and you can laugh at it or just ignore it as needed. Best of luck in the challenges ahead - Bob
