candle holder? the title through me off I think. I was trying to see a crystal ball in this picture but then I realized what you meant. cold use more light from the outside too to add dimension to the glass. its overall a bit dark.
I like the idea and the really close viewpoint! I wish the other parts of the ball weren't so dark..and that one spot wasn't blown out. its distracting.
I think I would have liked this better if you had added some light to the outside of the candle holder and took advantage of the geometrics of the glass. As it is, I think its too dark.
