Description Thought i'd try some more studio stuff. Studio being a lamp with some tracing paper in front of it and a large piece of paper. Works for me

A ball bearing sitting on some coloured pencils I really like the strong lines of the pencils and then the way the ball bearing bends them into a vortex kinda shape.

Hello,

I love your picture. It's so vivid in colour... exquisite.
I just wanted to ask, if it would be ok with you, if I featured your picture as the background of a promotional poster for an annual Film Festival in Romania. The credits of the picture will be of course, yours.

Have a nice day

Wow. I love this.
The way it is set up, the angle[which I think is rather rad], everything.
Especially the colors.
You did so awesome on this.
You win.

Jealous-Blue-Mistake [2006-06-19 04:37:48 +0000 UTC]

I dont like this, I LOVE it.
I love the way the silver ball is just sitting on the pencils and the colour of the pencils makes this a really nice shot!
I also love the way the colour of the pencils is only shown on the bottom half of the ball and the silver at the top.

well done

This image is absolutely awesome, I saw your avatar based on this image and I clicked on it because I thought it was based on some cool 3d render. In the avatar it really looks like a ball with hdri reflections. When I saw it was a photograph, I was blown away by the stunning use of colour, the perfect composition, and the overall richness on display here. Would you mind if I attempted to render this in 3d? Anyway, beautiful work man!
