At first I thought the title was an attempt to shoehorn this into the 10 theme. But I thought, with something obviously set-up like this, why not just include ten marbles? - and after looking at the photo more, I realized the reflections obviously made it ten spheres. I just wish that your title had said something more to that effect? But really, I am glad that I am seeing how this meets the challenge because it is a gorgeous abstract image and I love the photo to death.

Do you think there are tiny universes in each one of those marbles that might contain tiny little solar systems with blue planets that support life? This photo makes you think, nice job.
