I thought this would score higher, but then I think all mine should score higher ;-)

Nice job!

I like the distortion! It's so cool and makes this photo special in its own way. Also, love the vidgnetting on the sides :)

This one is great. Love the wide angle and the lighting. The neutral colors of the room and open space yells empty. And I love the bright blue ball. A good contrast in color. Bump 10

Nice and tidy basement - usually they are filled with all the stuff you are supposed to have thrown out! I like the composition, and envy the cleanlyness of a normally messy room ...

That's a very big blue ball. Like the perspective, the lighting and the shadows. Like the fact that the very big blue ball looks quite odd in this setting.

Wow...I wish I could find a place like this.

Something rather spooky about this one. Nice Idea. How did you get that big ball down the stairs :-)

Great location for this challenge, I like that you can even see the slight curve of the stairs at the top, only complaint is that the ball doesn't appear perfectly round like it should. Wide angle?

this has a lot of promise; one wonders how it might have looked if you had taken one or two lightbulbs out from the background. i think the brightness and shock value of the blue ball might have had greater impact. i like how you positioned the ball, and the idea of space is pleasing. overall the shot seems a tad too bright to me, but very likeable. 8. by the way; if this is your basement, i'm very jealous - seems like a wonderful place for shooting.

Nice contrast of color wish the room would have been more open with less going on

This is a very good shot. At first glance, the ball looks very surreal. I like it alot.

I like it very much! Great composition. It gives a sensation of warmth in the space where the ball is. Super cool!

speaks for its self....

I would have unscrewed the light bulb on the upper left, making the ball stand out even more. I would have titled it "The Ball Room" :) Well done!

Nicely composed with the bit of POW with the blue ball.

wow... I feel like I shouldn't like this as much as I do, but the ball really stands out in the basement. Kinda throws you off keel. 9
