 these are my "Chinese Healthy Balls" that I use to improve the deterity of my failing hands. I wanted a bit of a challenge trying to shoot something mirrored, up close, while attempting to stay out of the shot. Close, but no cigar...

but the reflections are pretty cool!

Are these those balls you roll around in your hand? I think it would be better if the balls were not scratched up and you composed it so the red on the bottom wasn't there.

Good abstract shapes and lines. Increasing the contrast would exaggurate these more and improve the photo in my opinon.

You should have cropped out the lower red.
Looks like eyes w/o the red. Cool concept.

I can't tell what I'm looking at here. And it seems to o dark. I think I might like it better if I understood how this relates to "Dexterity"

Great idea! Now you just need to find an unscratched pair of balls...

I just don´t see what this is a picture of and the title doesn´t help at all.

I'll have to come back to this. I can't make out what it is.

The first time I looked at this I had no idea what it was--this morning it's as clear as daylight. Obviously a tricky subject! Like the symmetry of the composition, but the gap between the balls seems too far apart...it justs keeps drawing me to it.

Cool reflections. Nice color choices.
