I think this was a good idea, but the shot is very noisy which rather distracts from the concept of chrome being rather smooth and clean.

It didn't look chrome enough. It looks more like too glass balls. Anyway, the colors appear to be almost grainy, and the surface of the balls have an almost soapy appearance. Not sure how to clear it up.

I love the vague image of a face. He looks tired and old, sad.
