* A Critique Club Comment *
Hello Laurie,
Please keep in mind that I am not a professional ....
Composition
I love the colors, the hues, the shades, the shapes, the circles, this is a very interesting composition. I feel that had the yellow light circle around the marbles been uniform (the yellow falls off near the top and top/right around the marbles) it would have helped to make the image pop.
Technical Details
The linear reflections on the bottom and left are distracting to me, as are the similar reflections in the marbles. The depth of field is nice, it works very well here. The soft focus of the marbles is nice as well. It feels as if the crop is off just a little, the left is closer to the ring than the right. I wonder if a square crop with the entire outer circle visible might have been interesting and made this photo pop more
Aesthetics
For me this photo is very aesthically pleasing. All elements work very well together to make quite the unique image, one that begs to be inspected for quite a while. The blend of complementary colors is excellent.
Relationship to Challenge
This photo meets the challenge perfectly, you have used an interesting perspective (above) to create a dramatic effect (surreal marble hell). I will say I don't quite get the title, but I'm slow that way.
Overall this is quite the interesting image. I like it immensely and feel the score doesn't reflect your interesting perspective. This was a difficult image for me to critique, abstracts are just that and subject to the interpretation of the observer, I'm sure someone smarter than I could have given you a better critique.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to PM me.
I look forward to seeing more of your photos.

| Excellent image! The basic simplicity of the idea ends up as a delightfully complex and interesting image worthy of hanging on any corporate office wall |
