This is a solid glass marble placed on top of the foot of a wineglass that is turned upsidedown.
I came to this setup while playing around with several glass objects I could find at home.
The photo was taken in supermacro-mode to show the detail inside of the marble and to achieve a narrow DOF.

I think we both own the same kind of crystal ball, mine also looks like this one :-) Or is it a marble which looks like a crystal ball? Anyway, I like this, especially the indentation at the base of the ball. Cool effect.
i think you have the best of the bunch. you have my only 9 vote! !! clean, simple and good crop/compositon. bit of noise (compression?) which i like. sometimes the superclean digital camera look can give the vibe of fakeness.. .
one of my favourites. it's very simple...framable. I'm not sure if I like the long lens...I might have liked it with a more defined base...hard to say. great either way...8.
I like this. It's simple, clean and yet draws the eye in. The use of thirds works well. I really like the color tones. They just add to that clean feel of it. Nice photo :)
