A beautiful subject for this challenge. I love the arrangement and choice of placing the foreground ball to the far right. The colors are great - I wish the water surface was a little glassier or smoother or maybe if we coudn't see the bottom.

Nice reflections and composition. Maybe increase the saturation a bit? It would give it more color.

Well done...

what are these?

Very good! The only problem is that white ball being too near to one side. Couldn't it have been thrown into the water?

This is a great image. The water and reflections make for additional interest.

I would have liked this far better without any shore line visible.

A 6.

Interesting subject. Would have cropped out the one not-rusted sphere. Is this a sculpture somewhere? Nice tones and focus.

One of my favorites of the challenge, seems to remind me of planets floating in space. Wish you could have picked up some of the white trash in the background of the photo. But great capture.

I don't know what or where these are, but they just beg for a bunch of comments. I like the composition, good color. I really like the reflection in the water. 9

Very interesting picture, have looked at it several times now and keep wondering why these balls are here and what they were ever used for. The picture is very good - color, composition and focus are all just right. The reflections in the water are nice, too.

This photo is a bit surreal. The balls almost appear as planets.

This is a terrific photograph. I'm sure you tried to get rid of that white ball in the corner (but couldn't because of basic editing rules). The whole picture is so well photographed and composed, that the white ball just grows on this viewer. Nicely done!

very weighty showing that althoughy the objects are old they still maintain a great amount of validty and presence. If i could reccommend anything, i'd like to see very little of the grass and focus more on the color contrast between the ball colors and the blue sky reflection in the water

Nice composition and exposure. I wish the one silver ball was not so close to the edge/

How wonderfully mysterious! Beautifully composed.

interesting subject, nicely captured. the bright one on the right distracts from the rest, but overall it is a unique subject.

Nice rustballs you found there and good colors in it too I think you could well have cropped out the reflection of the bottom ball, could have been better like that, Good luck :)

Use 'em more and they won't get rusty.
