This is a neat idea which I like very much, but I think it could have been carried out better if you had been able to hide the camera behind a curtain in the kitchen and zoom into this reflective ball.
Interesting. It's sharp and the idea is good. I think it might have been better without the overhead lights causing all the glare. Did you try it while you were sitting at the table?
Nice one. I really like M.C. Escher's work. I think you should have hold in your hand like the original litography, but then again, this one looks great.
As a side coment: you probably know it allready, but from a couple of shots like this, with a good globe and proper technic, you can capture a full spherical panorama (360ยบ and all the way up and down).
As an example I made this small view into your living room: //217.129.14.92/qtvr26/qtvr76.html
Or you can take a look at mine, done under controlled conditions with 2 shots and the fotographer removed from the final shot.

Anyway, great interpretation of the challenge. Nice picture. Good luck.
