I live in Florida so it's only natural I do one of these. I tried to get that painting look with the clear orb being thrown in there for a bit of realism. Plus I'm working on doing clear orbs :) I hope you like it.
I like the sphere and the bird... and the water and how you played with light. But that star is a turnoff for me; I'm not sure why: is it its color, or just the way that it's incorporated into the image. Prob both. Also, the fact that you cut off both the bird and the orb's shadow makes it look like your focus is the starfish, which is just a bit unsettling. But overall, I like this. especially the shadow of the orb: whooooow, I want to have that orb for keeps. :)
