I didn't originally intend this but after discover how difficult it was to photograph super reflective spheres properly, I was running out of options. That's when the Naked-teapot-eBay-guy came to mind!

I'm very pleased with the results (thanks Neat Image)!

brightness/contrast, selective color, curves (not sure which order, I just tried a bunch of stuff)

I gave it an 8. I got a good laugh and enjoyed the composition and concept. Clever using the DNMC in the window. And thanks for including Konador's shot in your comments. I got a double laugh this time around.

Hehe... Good one. Perhaps moving the ball further to the right to make it more of a thirds picture would give a bit more drama.

Good photo. I am not sure what it is..., but whatever it is, is well done....

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......
