Simply a black glass ball. The thing that caught my eye with it was that I noticed a patch of lighter glass running through it that allowed light through.

Not really happy with this one, but thought I'd enter it and see how it goes as it is my first attempt to really play with light.

Couldn't get the ball in perfect focus as there is actually a clear layer of glass on it, making the edge look fuzzy.

Quite an unusual refractive effect! I'll have to remember about that ...

Intriguing. And nicely done. The grain adds to the feeling of mystery.

Nice shadow. I like the unexpected shape of it, adds another point of interest. Lighting looks good and the choice of black & white is good. Well done. 8

Strong graphical abstract - high grain works well here.
