This is a pretty cool picture, because when I first saw it I thought it was pool balls. I really like the large marbles, whether that is done with macro, or they really are larger.

Composition - Nice job with your composition, I like the fact that you don't have the cluster of marbles centered, but off to the side. I might have tried cropping just a little more to bring your focus more onto the marbles.

Exposure - Good exposure, no complaints here.

Color - excellent use of color which really makes this photo eyecatching

Focus - excellent focus on the marble that is at a standstill. Very nice job with that!

Background - the background is the low point for me on this picture. I think it would have looked better with a solid background. Also there are dust and scratches all over the background, which is destracting.

Fit for challenge - perfect, really shows motion! You have the stand still and the ones in movement, I think it's an excellent picture for the challenge.

Lighting - the lighting could have been slightly different as there is a severe hot spots on the marble standing still. Also not sure if this is purposeful or not, but the right side is much darker then the left.

Wowability - pretty cool... makes you wonder what happened in the game.

Final comments - very nice job, I personally would have you placed higher in this competition. but great job on meeting the challenge and getting a pretty good picture at the same time!

Black background makes the rich colours stand out, well done, maybe a little more cropping needed tho so the marbles fill the frame more.

Thats what I call a motion picture. Physics of motion well captured. Sad that the marble at the top is almost unvisible.

Looks like atomic particles.

I can see the motion - is the stationary marble the one that hit the others? In looking at this, I wonder what the left half of this pic is showing - I see the trail of what I guess is another marble, but it's so dark it's hard to tell. Good effort.
