Thank you for all the votes and comments. I am a beginning photographer, and this is very encouraging to me. I will keep the suggestions in mind and try to reshoot this one at a later time.
Chrome is tough going, eh? Better control of the reflections would be, well, better. Shooting on a mirror gives a nice anti-gravity feel. A bit static. Maybe a bouncing ball would have given it more interest.
This is really good. I'm just wondering what it would look like if, instead of using a mirror, you used other surface that wasn't as reflective and maybe colored. It's just a thought, I'm not sure of it.
Interesting composition. This a reflection? Must be. Had to look at it for a while to figure it out - well done. The only nitpicky comments I have is some "reflection blur", but since I haven't done one of those shots myself yet I don't know if (a) it is avoidable and (b) what you would differently. Other than that, the picture is just a tad too busy for me, but I like that this is one of the pictures where I'm not commenting on the background distractions!
I tried doing something similar to this, but I couldn't get a good image. I wish I would have thought of the mirror. I really like this.. I think it is the purple and silver combination that does it.
I really like the idea here. I'd guess you did, but I would play around with the composition a bit more -- something doesn't feel quite right to me. Aside from the issue of composition, which is a very subjective issue, the colors here don't seem quite right. Maybe a little too blue? And a little too dark on the ball? The brightness issue is a difficult one though cause that might blow out the jacks.
