Indebted to anireno for the idea. His was better... but I thought I'd give his basic setup a shot. No way I'll win the blue ribbon but maybe I can at least place above the 50th percentile :)

It does remind me of the lucky 7 challenge entry, but it isn't as impressive. Perhaps it is the gray background that (subjectively) ruins it for me. Still it is in the top half of what I've seen so far.
This is very neat. I'd certainly like to know how you got those refractions so neatly in the balls. Nice color on the balls, though I'm not sure the grey background goes too well with it.
