The title comes from the old CBS Saturday morning kids show.
Not sure how this one will do. Depends on how much I'm penalized for being literal on this. Made a 16x16 square "checkerboard" in PS, and used free transform to distort and modify several different versions. I then printed this at 8"x8" to be the background so the effect would be exaggerated.
Anyway, we'll see what the voters think.

The white squares don't look white, they're a wierd reddish blue--it's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to see it fixed in PS with a simple whitebalance adjustment. My other criticism is that there's a partial and distracting reflection of the marble in the lower right. Since it's advanced editing, you should clone that sort of thing out.
A good setup choice for the challenge. With advanced, you can tone down the hotspot on the ball if you wish, and the slight reflection on the forward black square.
