Superbly done. Well envisaged and executed - looks very real to me. The shadows, lights and perspectives are all there. The floor feels very stainless and thick. full marks!
I am like sitting here giggling like a school girl saying out loud :This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen!" That reaction alone is worth a 10! Need I say more?

I love it! Now I want you to do an animated version, where you can zoom in on a selected sphere and then when you click it it rises up off the ground and unravels to show the photograph it was taken from. That should be easy for you, no?
I have seen creativity before but this takes the cake. Not in a thousands years would I have ever thought of doing that. Tell you what, if we could put some numbers on them, I want a set for pool table balls. I'd be the talk of the town. But, don't Samatar's suggestion beat all? Better watch your back side.
You've picked a pretty cool, very eye-catching, way to show your portfolio. And the creative ideas it's inspiring from viewers is very stimulating. Building on Eugaston, Samatar and PatAndre's ideas, how about making video games with photo ping pong marbles, or photo pool table balls, or transformers from photos, or ...
What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!

Amazing work!!!!! I'm really impressed with your creative talents. To be able to create this from a blank piece of digital canvas. What was your inspiration? 10/10 in my favs.
Great idea for your portfolio. I'm still working on importing my own textures and such on Bryce...hopefully I'll reach your level before too long. As said above, this would make an incredible Flash screen. Maybe have the marbles roll up and flatten out when you click them or something. :)
I just found this and I think what impresses me most is the degree of creativity it inspires in those who look at it! You have made an amazing picture and in turn, it has stirred up all sorts of ideas among a very creative group of people.Some see a picture - some see endless possibilities. You have done an amazing thing here.

I would like to put my family photos in each marble and have it banging together and flying all around. Like driving a car for the first time! You got everybodys head spin'ing. 10.9 Thanks
The best word for this one is. . . . fascinating. I just love the idea, and the brightness of it, and the fantastical feel is just awesome. Great Job!! Keep it up!
I absolutely love this creation!! I have been going thru your gallery, since I saw one of your creations on the main page of caedes and I love what you do. Thank you so much. Verena
