Punched hole in mat board, got the ball to where I wanted it, got the cube to stand on its corner in the hole, shot. Natural light only. I tried cloning out the scratches in the plastic but they looked even funnier.

Applying a noise reducing program such as neat image would have gotten rid of much of the gray speckling, called noise, which is rampant in this image. I would like to see it much smoother. I do like the contrast of light and shadow on this one, and you did a very nice compositional direction with the cube.

I like this but I think it could be sharper

Cool idea, but it seems slighting out of focus.

Creative. Technicals are quite above average, but perhaps not perfect. (the small flare on the right edge) I like the composition too. 7
