Positives - Good use of color on this photo... you definitely fit the challenge, and made it eye appealing and interesting, yet plain and simple. Contrary to normal rules of photography this photo works quite well the way it is centered... and I like the fact you didn't make it square as that would have made it too simple and the extra width makes you take a second to look more closely at the photo. The color combos you used are interesting and not what you would expect to see, which adds to the photo as a piece of art and personal rather than just a photo of 4 balls on opposite colors or whatever. Very nice job on focusing, nice and clear... and good job spacing looks pretty equal to me!
The not so positives - as mentioned in some of your comments I would have tried to make the light a little less harsh, and tried to not have the shadows that you have. I like the seems on the balls, but to be nitpicky the yellow seam is not pointing directly towards the center and is slightly crooked... this makes it look as though (though you prolly didn't) you just plopped them down haphazardly... this is a little detail that people at DPC will count down for whether we like it or not. The one other thing I see is that (without taking a ruler to it) the yellow side looks slightly larger than the purple side.
Otherwise nice job. Good use of color, nice and bright with a simple pattern that is eyepleasing and not very distracting. Interesting photo. Good luck in the future!

| I like the use of colors, and the simplicity of the photo. The light looks a tiny bit off center, but its really a problem. Must have been hard making sure the balls did not roll off lol |

| I think I'd like a square crop here -- but I might decide I like the "unexpected" better after seeing both...good job overall |

| nice structure. perhaps the shaddows could have been more even, or less obvious on the yellow background - they distract a bit from the overall 'structure'. |

| Very nice - can't think of a single thing I would change. Definately meets challenge, great concept, nice border choice and nice focus! Very high score! :) |

| Interesting shot. I think the shadows (particularly on the green ball) distract from the photo overall. Still a good score from me, though. |

| great idea... attention to detail, the seams on the balls should either be hidden or facing the same way |

| Excellent setup. I like all the complements except if yellow complements green, how does yellow complement purple? (I would have liked it better if red was on blue, blue was on red, yellow was on green, green was on yellow -like that) |

| Nice crisp lines. The seams of the balls distract. More interesting Highlights might be someting to try. |

| Nice idea, just to be picky, I think the image would look a little better without the shadows, but I like the shot as a whole, nice job |
