I like the patterned shadow, it adds a lot of interest. A different arrangement of the marbles might work better for me, this is a little bland. And a side note, they can look really cool shot outside on a sunny day.

I think this idea is good. I like the shadows and tilt of the shot to give a nice diagonal from top left to bottom right. One thing I might suggest for improvement is to use a deeper depth of field so that the details of all the marbles can be shown. This current depth of field seems to blur out the closest and furthest marbles

Focus is too soft for me.

nice study. i especially like the contrasts of curves and lines. but dark and light and color and b/w work very well too.

Thanks for your great comments and your votes. I was trying all that week to get a good b/w photo, but couldn't get what I wanted. When I when grocery shopping I saw these flowers. The flowers were red and yellow stripes. I put it in the front of the window with the sun shine in. After probably 50 shots, I got the one above.

Congratulations on your 9th placing. When I saw this i had the feeling it was going to the top. Think about it. Out of over 600 entries it surfaces above and into the top 10. Outstanding effort.

A very attractive b/w with impressive shadows and great spatial feel. Bumping up.
