The World Is Round!!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Arh, its a crystal ball sitting on your hand, but the photo is inverted (upside down). ... I orginally thought it could of been a drop of water on a flower, but it was 'too perfect'. Did I get it right ?

Taro

Not only do you take superb pics, but you're creativity is breathtaking. This is probably the most amazing pic you've shown so far.

That's great and nice to see you are thinking outside the 'square'. (Or sphere) :)

Obviously a good juggler. My juggling balls would not let me look at the world so cleanly :) My balls are marked :) :) :) :)

I think it's sitting on a pink scarf (or fabric of some sort) rather than just his hand. Perhaps in his hand, but most likely not.

But the rest of this, I think you're spot on.

Great work Taro; simply awesome work.

Garry you might be right, when I put the shot upside the bit far left (becomes far right, looks more like a finger to me...) But resting it on your hand would make the shot even more difficult then a scarf on a stationary object...

Will have to wait for Taro to reveal his secret... if he will :)

Yes it's an acrylic ball on a very very cold hand at 4:30am on a spring morning in England. The ball inverts things through some clever physics thingamejiggy, so I turned the pic upside down!!
