 The 'ball' part of my track ball mouse.

Here is the original. I wasn't able to capture the ruby red that the track ball actually reflects. If i was able to get the true color I would have submitted it that way. So seeing the original you can tell why I was not satisfied with my result. I PS'ed and rotated 90 left.

A stumper, so meets the challenge. Attention grabbing. Processing feels a bit hot but it seems to work with your subject and it creates a lot of drama.

Golf ball?
Hard to tell with the heavy processing, which is quite nice and creative. Would maybe nice to have some more colour tones.
