Playing with photographing marbles up close. I love seeing the refelections in them. Had my son model for me and act like he is shooting marbles. Used my macros lens.

alright, something besides flowers and bugs! really interesting shot, what a pov, you are really low! Perfect focus, the background is just not very interesting, otherwise great shot
Great focus on refraction in the marble. The DOF transitions seems rather abrupt and awfully harsh, perhaps a smoother transition. Other than my person nitpick this is a marvelous photograph.
The shallow DOF really works well here. The focus on the marble is very crisp which allows you to see a lot of detail in the marble. The texture of the floor contrasts nicely with the glassy, smooth texture of the marble. Nicely done! Wow this looks even better on my Mac! Really Pops!
