played with chroma a bit (yellows desat to fix color temp , greens sat to push marbles)
bit o curves , usm
reminds me of the ray tracing program POVray
made a distorted lined (36" wide) backdrop with photoshop + printed on a wide plotter, 3 marbles, and a glass(crystal) ball ..
oh & a junked light/layout table that i restored this week ;) so all the light comes from the bottom - super diffused & no obvious direction
submit,crop,submit,crop....
chances of anyone understanding the image ..0..
postchallenge: oops - guess people did understand ;) thankyou
a couple of other notes on HOW-TO:the paper was against a clear sheet of plastic bent in a C shape (you see the curve in the image) and the view in the ball is of most of the background almost upto 270deg .. otherwise you would see aspects of the room and edges of the paper ...

This photo is amazing. I would like to try this one day when I have the right materials. I am going to put your image into my favourites and I hope that when I grow up I can take a photo like this.
This is the kind of photograph that made me interested in photography to begin with. Thanks for showing us such a great, classic image. Very, very cleanly done - beautiful!
Vracking, original image. Kind of reminds me of a larva lamp something. Well done and good luck with this. I thikn the green adds a nice splash of colour and the composision is nice too.
I like the imaginitive idea, the lighting on the green balls, the swirly black on the larger ball and the lines at the bottom front are also good. I think the dirty smudgy grey on white at top back of image really destroys this photo.
This is excellent. ;Ok, I'm picking this as the winner. SOOO unusual. The lime just stands outamidst the stripes of black and white. I like that the circule seems a bit opaque. GREAT Man, I'm so happy to see this amidst the other 500 crappy ones. GOOD ONE 10 10 10
