I really enjoy this one. Subtle lines in a sense, yet very sharp. Nice use of the subject.

Great photo... too bad you can see your reflection in the marble...

Great lead in lines with a hefty point of interest.

Clever idea -- other options for the central orb might be a pearl or a completely clear glass marble ("crystal ball").

Very good indeed! I would prefer the reflections to be a little less attention grabbing.

The lines really lead into the centre, but I find that, once there, the subject is a little indistinct.

great idea. a shinier center (with no reflection) would really make this a strong photo.

IMHO theis pic justs lacks any WOW factor for me. The lines do lead to the pearl, but the highlights are ditracting in it. Also the dark space under the pearl is distracting.

I like the way the lines lead to the steel ball. Nice job of positioning the ball off-center. I find the photographers reflection in the ball a bit distracting.
