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) :)

This was done with an acrylic sphere that a friend leant me. He used them for juggling!!

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

All I could think of was finish his sentence...

My balls are marked for emergency use only! :) :)

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!!
