This one needs some real breathing room. The crop is just too tight. I like the idea. Someone here at work actually has a set the same or similar to this. The reflections are good too. This shot definitely works, except that it needs a little more room.
These weren't managing my stress - I threw them out the window. Good capture of the reflections - I wish the top of the balls and top right were not so blown out as to be almost blending in the bg. 8
The bottom reflections aren't strong enough to take up half the picture. Should have shown only 1/2 of it (the bottom part), and then zoomed in so the balls are almost touching the edges of the shot. I've got a pair of those Chinese stress balls myself! Great idea.
Very interesting subject choice. I like the reflection and the different views of the sign on the balls. The ball on the left should be turn just slightly to the right, however. Are these paper weights?...if not, I'm not sure I would say it was office art. By the way, I do like the picture. I just think this would be better cropped to the balls on both sides to make a square photo. 6 Good luck in the challenge.
I like verything but the crop - becasue the left top is cut it looks like the image needs to be rotated one degree. And I wonder if it would look better with a square format rather than rectangular since you have centered the image - 8
Good idea here and I think fits the challenge well.
The crop is so tight. I'm sure you'll be told that enough (sorry). It is a distraction.
I also think the focus could of been more sharp.
I think this is my favorite shot out of the challenge... I have a set of these that I keep on my desk. I have some painted ones like this but i have a stainless steel set also... great relaxation :) = 10 - setzler
