I like this very much. The crystal is interesting to begin with and the way you used light adds even more interest.
The background works perfectly. Did you use fabric as a backdrop? What really adds intrigue is the various shapes, like the beams of varying blues radiating from near the upper left corner. My attention is drawn up to it, then it directs my eyes back to the subject.
The circular curves also guide my eyes around the image. All the subtle shapes make up a great composition.
The base of the crystal has a liquid appearance that is pleasing, and suggests motion, adding to the appeal.
Technically everything seems to be in order...focus is good, exposure is very fine with good detail where needed.
Overall you have combined good technique, interesting subject, fascinating lighting, and wonderful diagonals and curves. Ya did real good! :-)

really cool shot.. not sure I like the rotation though... looks like gravity should be pulling that ripple down towards the lower left...

What's the appearence of movement a little over half way down the picture? One spot of white in the bottom right corner and one on each side of the bottom of the "ball". With the blue being so brilliant these spots jump out at you. Other wise good shot. PTL

Great depth and use of angles with the smooth lines of 'water' has a great contrasting effect. Great job.
