In my opinion this is excellent. A nice idea that was very well excecuted. I only wish it was taken by me. Congrats, it's a very cool shot.

Very nice photograph. Good use of depth of field. This is a not a criticism, but I wonder if a polarizer could have taken care of the reflection on the top-right side of the glass ball.

Excellent job.

Clever! Neat effect, and well-executed technically. As is, I'd crop it in more tightly but in the end you're left with an upside-down skyline that doesn't do much on its own. It could be a good starting point for additional effects, compositing, etc. As for the previous comment re: polarizing filter to remove the reflection, I don't think that would work. I would shade the ball on that side with a black gobo and block the reflection altogether.

9-9 - Very unusual - great imagination and terrific shot altogether!

I can easyly imagine this shot as a Guide book title. Photoshop, polarizer filter or gobo(as Jerome P wrote) could remove this reflection. Great job. Jan

What I find most striking is that the hand is holding the globe in this uncomfortable and precarious way. This is a variation on something that has been done before (including in pencil by Escher), however I have never seen the hand positioned this way. Usually the globe is a metaphor for the world (or a world) and it is held more securely. Here even if this is meant to be a new twist on the old theme, I find it disturbing in a way that I don't think it was meant to be.

Beautiful and inspired, I haven't seen this done before, kind of a still life/macro/landscape all in one.

Before I make you mad, let me clarify that the copycat here will be me. I love this shot!! Gotta try it - I'm thinking seascape, early morning sunrise with sailing ships in the background - yeah....

lol, my second thought was that I have to do something similar too. my first thought was that the picture is just fantastic. I don't like the way it's cropped, but the idea is fantastic, and the photo is beautiful.

ignore the contact info as it is badly out of date.

nice concept and realization. Definitely, the best of the photos you posted here in photo.net. I find it is very elegant... I like it so much.

excellent shot, good idea and well taken.

I am no expert but the white thing to the right is distracting, you have isolated the subject with DOF very well which reduces this problem bit IMO not elimates it.

Beautifully captured, Ellis.

Best regards from Kenya,

A great photograph for sure ...

 

Did you at all consider taking another with the hand laying flat (not all that necessary, as this hand position works) and/or flipping the image?

 

You know, in a kind of a gravity defying supernatural, world in the palm of a hand type thing ???

 

Don't get me wrong ... The image is great. It just kinda begs to be flipped upside down also.

 

I just love this. I only wish I had thought of it. It's beautiful. Well done Ellis.
