 This is a glass ball that dangles in our sunroom...I got in close with the macro and tried a few angles. I like the contrast of dark and light and the fact that it is not identifiable as an object.

I hope the colour and shapes get it to a 6 at least.

I basically square cropped, dodged and burned areas, cloned out dust, Noise Ninja, USM, resized, NI, USM, border, save for web.

Striking entry. Like the overall clarity but would like it even more if the lower right had been cleaned up more.

Excellent. Looks just slightly washed out on my LCD monitor -- perhaps a bit more contrast would be in order.
