Thanks for all the comments. As I looked at all of the other submissions I knew I'd be hammered for submitting something out of focus, but at the time it seemed like a good idea, and I liked the outcome.

Macro, abstract, art, whatever - it's what the image does for you that matters. Being too technical about what defines "macro" is limiting in my opinion, but I do like the input as to why folks like something in focus in a macro challenge.

The subject is a glass bowl of marbles lit by natural light at a window - it would've been too easy to guess marbles if I hadn't played with it. In the end I chose to present soft and soothing colors. Next time I'll go for something more crisp.

Thanks again, this was my first challenge, but won't be my last.

Cheers Rich

What the heck is it? Well composed, mystery macro, like the colors in the bottom half as they get brighter.
