		| | Thanks for the comments guys!  Yeah, definately has focus problems.  I could either have the refraction, or the background in focus and I got neither, haha.  Unfortunately, I went out and took about 30 shots and this is the best that came out...  (was really hoping to get the water lines matched up) I was then too lazy to go for another take. =)  Thanks carolee for the cropping comment, I can definately see what you mean. |

		| | interesting idea, this image would have been perfect if it wasn't so blurry |

		| | Nice idea but needs to be sharper. |

		| | Intersting idea and composition. The focus seems a bit soft.But I really like the idea. |

		| | Nice Idea.  Too bad it didn't turn out better.  Not sure what is wrong.  Maybe the Focus, or your Crystal Ball is imperfect. |

		| | Neat idea, but it looks blurry to me.  I might also suggest cropping closer on the left and right, since that pole on the dock is distracting. |

		| | Very cool shot.  Some sort of stand for the shpere would have given a better effect than the hand but it's still one of the more interesting of the challenge. |

		| | I was wondering if anyone else would do a crystal ball shot, I did one too :-) The refraction works well. I would rather have seen the crystal ball and it's details sharp and the background blurred out though. |

		| | The perspective on this is almost perfect .  A little lower perspective and the horizon in the ball would have lined up with the horizon in the rest of the image.  Also, if the ball had been placed on a stand of some sort to take the picture you would have had more options for vantage points. |

		| | could you not focus on the reflection?....great idea | 
 | 
		
			|  | 05/08/2003 05:46:51 PM | 
		| | The ball is a nice subject, gets a good effect from the horizon, slightly more focused would have been nice. Great shot all the same! |

		| | hard to know where to focus on these shots.  using a short lens (or wide angle) would help.  it just looks a little soft to me.  I like how ou tried to match up the horizons.  good shot. |

		| | It's a lovely idea but a little out of focus - a real pity |
